So rough a charity sermon was scarce ever heard

[from Sun 6] I preached in the morning, on ‘While we have opportunity, let us do good unto all men,’ and in the afternoon, on ‘By manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God’. So rough a charity sermon was scarce ever heard. But God gave it his blessing, insomuch that fifty pounds were contributed toward finishing the house at Newcastle.
