22nd I went over Marlvern Hill with Br Richard. had a
splended view of the vale beneath. we stoped in the sitting
house half way down the hill. Br Richards engraved his
name with mine in the building. we went into the valey
dined with Br Samuel Jones after dinner we walked up to
the Holy well house & drank of the Holy water, so noted
that comes out of Marlvern Hill, & after visiting several
friends east of the hill, we walked on to the top of great
Marlvern which is the highest peak of any part of the hill here

We bowed down & offered up our prayers unto God, & walked
down the west side of the hill & preached at Marlvern hill
