Memoir and Diary of John Yeardley, Minister of the Gospel

CHAPTER II
23/39

Got to Wray about half-past ten, and went to the meeting, which began at eleven o'clock.

Twenty-three persons attended, one of whom appeared to be of another society.

I sat therein for a considerable time in a very low state, and feeling a concern to stand up, I gave up, although in great weakness: different states opened and were spoken to in the authority of the gospel; and I had a long testimony to bear from Luke xv.8.John Yeardley had a pretty long time next, from Lam.iii.

26; afterwards I was concerned in prayer, and felt truly thankful for the renewed mark of divine favor, and secretly rejoiced that my lot was cast here.
On the 13th John Yeardley accompanied Joseph Wood to Kendal.
It was with difficulty, says J.W., we got into the town for the crowd of people; the Parliament being dissolved, and a new election of members about to take place; and there being an opposition in this county; Henry Brougham, the favorite candidate of the people, against the Lonsdales.
They were waiting his arrival in the town to canvass for votes.

After tea I went to Thomas Wilson's; his house was nearly opposite the inn where Henry Brougham put up.
