29th Sunday I have much to do to day. I
preached at Froomes Hill, at 1/2 10 oclock at
the Hill farm 2 1/2 oclock & Baptized 13 persons
2 of which were preachers I met with the

Saints in the evening at 6 oclock at the
Hill farm & confirmed 35 persons & broke
bread unto about 80 Saints which closed the
business of the day. O how much strength &
wisdom I nead in the midst of so much
labour, but surely the Lord does give me
grace according to my Day for which I feel
vary thankful. I am informed this day that
the Ministers of the Church of England are holding
meetings & councils to petition Parliment to
stop my preaching & to cause our religion
to scease out of the land, but may the Lord
order all things aright I pray.
