came; but the Wardens considered themselves slighted, not having been consulted, and one of them said at the leader's meeting, "If you are not willing he should have the liberty, it shall be prevented:" They replied, they had nothing to do or act concerning it; however, as I was not willing to be called a thief or robber, I chose to come in by the door, and went to the above Warden accordingly. This Church belongs to the German Congregation, but is occupied by the Methodists and CoorER, he belonged to Lady Huntingdon's party, but now is near a Sandimanian. I held a number of meetings, that were respectable and very profitable to many. Alice Cambridge, the woman who was so attentive to me when in this country before, still continues her meetings, and gave up her meetings and room to me, and another company who occupied it alternately, did the same; so that my way was opened, and the quickening power of God, seemed to be present at most of the meetings which I held in the above place, (and at Esq. Shegog's, the barracks and the streets) which amounted to about twenty in number.

I was invited to hold a meeting in Ranelagh, by a rich old woman, who had built a preaching-house, which she had given to the Methodists, and a door from her bed chamber opened into the gallery; her own house not accommodating the number, she with much fuss and ado got the preaching-house open, which I refused to occupy, lest I should be esteemed a thief, but addressed them from her chamber door, and we had a good time. The Doctor I found had been lately unwell in my absence, but was now recovered.

Saturday, June 7th, 1806. Having received invitations to the country, through the medium of the Missionaries, G. Ousley and W. Hamilton and others; I set off for Wicklow County, in a gig, through the kindness of a backslider, whose heart God had touched, I held a meeting at Newtown Mount Kenedy, by the way to Wicklow, where I found religion low. We had quickening times, though with difficulty I got the people convened at the latter.

Sunday 8th. I spoke thrice in the town, and once at

Widow Tighe's, who was prejudiced against me when here before.

9th. I gave my last, and a backslider took me in a jaunting car to Rathdrum, whence a man helped me with a horse to Cappagh, where I spoke that night and next morning, and then departed with him to Hacket'stown. Here I spoke seven times in three days, having previously been invited by a man, who had married one of my spiritual daughters; she with her sister who had married a Methodist preacher still endured; these were the daughters of the old man, who felt these words to run through his mind, whilst they talked with me back and forth through the door, when I was in Ireland before, "be not forgetful to entertain strangers."-Two others of his children God gave me for my hire now; the quickening power of God seemed to be displayed in the different meetings; and convictions and conver sions were shortly multiplied, and not long after my departure, I was informed that about four score were added to society, the most of them happy in God.

I spoke in Baltinglass on my way to Carlow. In both places I had good times, and a preacher was friendly whom I formerly thought cool; he invited me to meet a class, and attend his quarterly meeting, with the latter I could not comply. I rode on the car of my daughter, which brought me here the colliery, where I found the missionaries praying with some mourners; here was a big mecting appointed, which they called a camp-meeting, but I a field-meeting; there being no tents, only the open air, in imitation of America.

So I see the spirit of the revival is spreading in the breasts of the children of men; here I saw Mr. Averill who appeared as friendly as ever, and solicited my attendance at another meeting of magnitude, at Mount Melick and some other places. At this meeting I preached, and when he had done, I invited up the mourners to be prayed for; several found peace, and we had a refreshing season from the presence of God.

A Romanist interrupted the meeting, which caused many of them to run away, supposing him to be a priest. I never knew that in this our day, priestcraft was so influential, and carried such a dread to the fear of man.

Next morning I spoke again the Missionaries took about fifty into society; hence we went to Castle-Comber: They spoke in the street and I beside the chapel door, having the church-minister present, whose relations gave him a look whilst I was repeating, what I heard an old man say in my infancy, that a minister's call was two hundred pounds settlement, and one hundred pounds a year.

Next morning I spoke again, and breakfasted with the clergyman's friends, who seemed piously inclined; here the Missionaries took about forty into society, and then we went to Kilkenny. The above priest said the Missionaries were mountebanks, kidnapping the peoplein this place we staid three days. The Missionaries attacked Popery in the streets twice or thrice a-day, and I attacked sin with A-double-L-partism in the preaching-house, which caused considerable uneasiness in the town; the Mayor had a potatoe flung at his head, and also received a letter without a signature, threatening that if he did not put us three out of town, his house should be pulled down on his head.

They took about thirty into society here. I bade some old friends farewell; so we departed to Money-beg, where I spoke under an ash-had a good time, though under some depression of mind. I attended two

other meetings in a large warehouse; here thirty were taken into society, and some shortly before, making eighty-two in all. William Hamilton took me in a gig to Carlow, where I spoke at 10, A. M. intending to comply with Mr. Averill's invitation, but was prevented by sudden inward illness, which flung me into spasms like convulsions; so by the advice of my friends I staid until next day, and then W. H-n attended me in the canal boat, about seventy English miles to Dublin, where I arrived about ten at night, on Sunday the 22d, and found my Peggy and friends well at the Doctor's: he said he thought my complaint proceeded from a small abscess of the liver, bursting into the cavity of the belly outside of the bowels.

A love-feast being held at Gravel-walk, I was informed that a number spoke there of being quickened by my late visit. I breakfasted several times in company with

Wm. Smith, the assistant preacher, he invited me to pray in the families, and is thought by some to be one of the most popular preachers in Ireland. I find he is a great kingsman, but I am convinced that many in these countries, who have been shining lights, are in a more lukewarm state than they are aware of. I continued my meetings as before-the Lord was with us, and the revival seemed to increase, which some of the preachers, who still retained a degree of life as they came to conference observed, and took hold with me heart and hand.

One evening, I was informed upwards of twenty preachers were present, amongst whom were several of the old preachers, that had treated me with coolness and neglect when here before, besides others who had been friendly; amongst these was Mr. Averill, who requested me to tour the kingdom at large.

During this visit at conference time, I received not one unkind word from any of the preachers, but the reverse; several gave me encouragement to visit them in their circuits, and also persuaded me to go into the pulpit at Ranelagh, where I had preached from the chamber-door, through the gallery into the preaching-house; even TOBIAS said he believed that I was an honest man, when he read Snethen's letter, asserting in the most positive terms that I was an imposter; though he had a spat with the Doctor, about keeping his hat on in the meeting at prayer time; the Doctor replied, because I believe thou art not sent of the Lord to pray nor preach, for thou art the man that used Lorenzo ill and never repented of it, nor of the poor woman whose heart thou broke, and was the cause of her death, and her blood is upon thee-he turned off shocked and confused. This man in the course of my absence to America, was stationed on the LARNE circuit, where some of my spiritual children spoke in a love-feast concerning the blessing of my labours to their souls, which caused him to reprove them, saying, "Let Mr. Dow alone, if you have any thing to say for God, speak it ;”—he also has been put back on trial, for some improper conduct; thus, those who are hard upon others, find hardships to overtake themselves. In the same house where he first checked me, taking the hymn out of my mouth, &c. the

Dr. gave him his due in the presence of several of the preachers and people, which I could not find that any of the conference were displeased with the Dr. for. Tobias's impertinency because the Dr. believed and practised some of the quaker forms, gave rise to this.

Snethen's letter from New-York to block up my way, was investigated at the leader's meeting, and unanimously acknowledged to have been written in a bad spirit, and did me no injury, but refuted itself, and so opened my way.*

About these days Wm. Thomas, Dr. Johnson told me had a liver complaint, which I remembered when he was taken unwell: the disorder increased to a degree of insanity, which caused him to leap out of a window on the third floor, and yet so as only to break his thigh.After this he came to his right mind, and called off his thoughts from the world to divine subjects, and the last words he said before he expired were, glory! glory!~ He was attended by an ungodly Physician and Surgeon, who prohibited him seeing religious visitors, and pronounced him in a fair way for recovery after his fall; but Doctor Johnson who did not attend him, said he would die, his liver being rotten, &c.

I put the first part of the second volume of my journal to the press, which contained one hundred and twenty pages duodecimo. Having now completed my visits and business, I contemplated a departure; saw Doctor Coke who did not speak to me; but I had several more refreshing seasons, and embarked for England in the Lark, Capt. Williams, having my Dr. Johnson in company. The wind seemed contrary, and a prospect of a long and tedious passage at first; however, the wind came round and we were favoured with only about thirty hours on the water. A doctor of a Guineaman, a passenger, treated me at first ungentlemanlike on the way; Dr. Johnson fell in conversation with several of the cabin passengers, who were Romanists; which seemed to cast some light upon their minds, and on his informing them about me, they expressed a desire that I

A meeting of about seventy official members, the result of which was--" written in a bad spirit by a wicked man."
