My strength was then according to my day

Thu 26 Aug 1779: I preached at five, and again at eleven. I think this was the happiest time of all. The poor and the rich seemed to be equally affected. O! how are the times changed at Cowbridge since the people compassed the house where I was, and poured in stones from every quarter; but my strength was then according to my day. And (blessed be God!) so it is still.
In the evening, I preached in the large hall at Mr. Mathews’s in Llandaff. And will the rich also hear the words of eternal life! ‘With God all things are possible.’
