Obliged to shorten the service to 3 hours

Sun 29 Aug 1790: Mr. Baddiley being gone to the north, and Mr. Collins being engaged elsewhere, I had none to assist in the service, and could not read the Prayers myself; so I was obliged to shorten the service, which brought the Prayers, sermon, and Lord's supper, within the compass of three hours. I preached in the afternoon near King’s Square; and the hearts of the people bowed down before the Lord.
