Lord Mayor of London arose & addressed a cro-
uded assembly of about 3000 person[s] in the cCiteey
Road Chapel (which was the first chapel ever built
by Mr John Wesley) the Lord Mayor says It is with
pleasure that I have been permiteted to preside over
this respectable body this evening on so important
occasion the memory of which will be i[n]delibly
fixed upon my mind as one of the most pleasing
events of my life, & I trust I shall ever be as
ready to perform evry Duty required of me by the
citizens of London as I have been to meet with
our Wesleyan friends this evening, the house rung
with applause, & the congregation dispersed the
Lord Mayor was conveyed to his Mansion in his
private carriage drawn by two Steeds whose harness
decorated with gold & silver which were glistning in
the sable shadses of night,

But in the midst of all this scenery who can imag
in my feelings none but those placed in kike [like]
circumstancs though I had a mission & a message
to the Inhabitants of London & stood in there mids[t]
ready to deliver it as soon as God opened my way
yet I was as little unknown by them, as Jonah
was to the citizens of Niniva while in the whales
Blelly & I clearly saw & realized that notwi-
thstanding this great display of talent, power &
policy, to send missionaries to the heathen they
as much need an humble messenger of God to
teach them the first principles of the Gospel of
Jesus Christ as Niniva Did a Prophet to cry repen
tance unto them, I retired home alone meditating
upon the signs of the Present generation
