When I left Bristol, I went with Richard Snead to his house in the country, and thence to Hezekiah Coale’s at WINTERBOURNE, in GLOUCESTERSHIRE, whither came several Friends that were under great sufferings for truth’s sake, whom I had invited to meet me there. Stephen Smith[50], Richard Snead, and I, drew up a breviat of their sufferings, setting forth the illegal proceedings against them, which was delivered to the judges at the assizes at Gloucester; and they promised to put a stop to those illegal proceedings. Next day we passed to SUDBURY, and had a large meeting in the meeting-house there, which at that time was of very good service. We went next day to Nathaniel Crisp’s at TEDBURY, and thence passed on to NAILSWORTH; where on First-day we had a brave meeting, and large. Thence we went to the quarterly meeting at FINCHCOMB, where were several of the opposite spirit, who, it was thought, intended to make some disturbance amongst Friends; but the Lord’s power was over, and kept them down, and good service for the Lord we had at that meeting. We returned from Finchcomb to NAILSWORTH, and had another very precious meeting there, to which Friends came from the several meetings thereabouts; which made it very large also. We went from Nailsworth the 1st of the 1st Month, 1678, and travelled through the country visiting Friends and having many meetings at CIRENCESTER, CROWN-ALLINS, CHELTENHAM, STOKE-ORCHARD, TEWKESBURY, &c., so went to WORCESTER, where I had formerly suffered imprisonment above a year for truth’s sake; and Friends rejoiced greatly to see me there again. Here I stayed several days, and had many very precious meetings in the city, and much service amongst Friends. After which, I had meetings at PERSHORE and EVESHAM; and then struck to RAGLEY in WARWICKSHIRE, to visit the Lady Conway,[51] who I understood was very desirous to see me, and whom I found tender and loving, and willing to detain me longer than I had freedom to stay. About two miles hence I had two meetings at a Friend’s house, whose name was John Stanley, whither William Dewsbury came, and stayed with me about half a day. Afterwards I visited Friends in their meetings, at STRATFORD, LAMCOTE, and ARMSCOTT (whence I was sent prisoner to Worcester in 1673,) and thence passed into OXFORDSHIRE, visiting Friends, and having meetings at SIBFORD, NORTH-NEWTON, BANBURY, ADDERBURY, &c. Then visiting Friends through BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, at LONG-CRENDON, ILMER, MENDLE, WESTON, CHOLESBURY, CHESHAM, &c., I came to Isaac Penington’s, where I stayed a few days; and then turning into HERTFORDSHIRE, visited Friends at CHORLEYWOOD, WATFORD, HEMEL-HEMPSTEAD, and MARKET-STREET, at which places I had meetings with Friends. From Market-Street I went in the morning to LUTON in BEDFORDSHIRE, to see John Crook, with whom I spent good part of the day, and went towards evening to ALBAN’S, where I lay that night at an inn. And visiting Friends at SOUTH-MIMS, BARNET, and HENDON,
