Autobiography Volume 1 circa 1842-1865

Sunday the I preached at Froom's Hill and met with the Saints in the afternoon and confirmed twenty two persons and ordained John Cheese to the office of Priest. In the evening I preached to a congregation of about eight hundred but some of the baser sort made much disturbance. There was a number of persons that wished to be pbaptized but they had to return home without it in consequence of the people. On the next day I walked to Mainston and obtained a license for preaching in any place under the English Government. On my return I visited a number of persons and found them beleiving. I preached at Froom's Hill and baptized three persons The day following I had an agreeable interview with Mr Thomas Kington the Superintendent of the United Brethren. I laid the fulness of the Gospel before him and he received the testimony.
