yesterday at Zions Chapel
watterloo Road & herd [2] ^three^ sermons
for th from the celebrated Robert
Aitken. we were much Edifyed
with some of his preaching, ie he
is looking for things in some degree
as they will take place. he says
the sectarian world will be damned
for they are not of God he says the
judgments of God will spedily fall

upon the whole gentile world. But notw[ith] [page turned down]
standing he sees all these things he has rejected
us in all parts of England like a tiger But we
have taken his flock in all places whare
we have been before. he has churches all
over England, is a reformer, he does not know
us as yet, though he addressed us yesterday in
meeting as strangers, when he knows who we
are I expect he will roar against us he is one
of the greatest preachers of the day in Europe
