the people it was the last meeting I should hold
with them for a season, it created much excitement.
I had appointments out for a week, which I got Bro.
Cordon to fill. I went before the Lord in prayer and
asked him where I should go, the Spirit said, go to the
south. According to the directions of the Spirit, on the
3rd March I went to Herefordshire, and called upon
John Benbow at Castlefroom; here I found a people
prepared for the Gospel. I preached twice at his house.
On the 6th I baptized 6 persons including John Benbow
and wife. I here found a society called "United
Brethren," numbering about six hundred members,
and about 50 preachers, Tho^s. Kington was the presiding Elder;
they came from all quarters to hear me preach and
believed my testimony and I preached and baptized
daily; the Ministers of the Church of England sent three
church clerks to see what I was doing and I baptized
them. One constable came to arrest me for preaching, and
I baptized him. In about 30 days days I baptized 160,
forty eight of which ^whom^ were preachers of the United
Brethren including their presiding Elder, Thomas
Kington.

I established forty two preaching places licensed
according to law.

On the 9th April I had an appointment at Haw
Cross, as I was going into the meeting, letters were put
into my hands from Elder Brigham Young and others
informing me of his arrival with five of the Twelve,
and requested me to come to Preston, and attend a
general conference,— a vast assembly had gathered at
to attend my meeting, the house, yard and street
wasere crowded, a mob had also gathered; I preached
to the people, five came forward and wished to be baptized
