Toronto blessing in 1784

Wed 8 Sep 1784: I preached at Kendleshire, where I do not remember to have been for near forty years. On the two following days, I preached at Clutton and Coleford. After preaching to an earnest congregation at Coleford, I met the society. They contained themselves pretty well during the exhortation, but when I began to pray, the flame broke out. Many cried aloud, many sunk to the ground, many trembled exceedingly, but all seemed to be quite athirst for God and penetrated by the presence of his power.
