Coming to Wrightstown

, I attended their Meeting on first
day. Preaching seems to be looked for by many People, and
that of a smooth kind pleases best; this makes hard labour for
those who singly seek to serve the great Master uprightly: I
think I have not been more sensible of this, than since I came
nearer home: Those are large Meetings: but I have been at
some much smaller, comparable to the two or three, with Minds tru-
ly turned turned to seek the fountain of life in themselves, which
have been much more favored with the divine presence.

The next day, had a Meeting at Makefield

: A very
comfortable season it was to myself, and to friends in general,
I believe. My mind has not been favour'd with such a sweet
enjoyment of divine Goodness since I came into this County: Blessed
be the Great Shepherd of Israel: If the tender-hearted little
ones hold on their Way, I believe there will be a growth in the
truth to some in this Meeting.

At Middletown

there was held a large Meeting which ended
well; and tho' laborious, I believe the Truth was in domi-
minion over all, to the tendering of many both Young and
Old. I had a pleasing prospect of some being brought forward into
usefulness who, if they keep their places may be made as Pillars
that shall go no more out. ---- This
