The next Meeting was among friends of Queman's Patent

, large and
solid. At the close of the publick sitting, I had an opportunity with
friends by themselves; Here way opened for close labour respecting the
the necessity of reformation, as things amongst them were much out of
Order, and too much lukewarmness prevalent. I was also at their
monthly meeting next day, where I was engaged to labour with
both Sexes, on the necessity of reformation, and had to touch on the
same Subjects as in other Places, concerning Foreign Trade, Rum, India
Tea, Tobacco &c, exhorting to that of more true moderation, temperance
&c, with the use of our own country Produce.

26th.

After that I had a Meeting at Clineykill

, a solid favoured
Season, said to be the largest known to be in that place: A hope
was expressed by some that the Lord would bless my Labours.

27th.

The next day was at New-Britain

, a large and solid Meeting; and
another at Steven-town in the Afternoon, where power was given
to labour fervently for the good of souls --- I am this day 64
years old; and am at times deeply humbled in beholding how my
way has been opened, and every kindness necessary have I witnessed from all
sorts of people; with a Capacity to undergo hard-travelling, thru' scenes
& Places where to human view it seemed impossible: In the Arm
of the Lord is all Strength & sufficiency.
