“_April, 1751._ Many of them professed after preaching, that they received more benefit from that one sermon, than from all the _masses_ they had attended during their whole life.” At another time preaching concerning the good _Samaritan_ (Luke x. 30.) “Two members of the church of _Rome_ were deeply convinced of their want of a Saviour, and thirty-four persons joined themselves together, to seek and serve the Lord.” “_Friday, May 8._ I conversed with a woman who was formerly of the church of _England_, but had been seduced by the _Romish_ priests. She was convinced of her error and returned. To God be the glory.” “After preaching on _John i. 17._ Sinners cried out mightily. One came confessing her deeds and said, She had lived an adultress, worse than _Mary Magdalen_; she wept, trembled and roared aloud.” The circumstance of his preaching and speaking in _Irish_, (a thing that multitudes, at least of protestants in _Ireland_ cannot do) next to the singular blessing of God upon his labours, contributed most to the success of his endeavours. Though it is observable that when he preached one day in _Irish_, on _Oxmon-Town-Green_ in _Dublin_, among those who were affected by the discourse, there was one man cut to the heart, although he did not, at all understand the language. In a journey once between _Cork_ and _Bandon_, he fell into conversation with a man who rode some miles with him, till as was his constant manner, he began to apply something to his heart, concerning the worth of his soul, and the way of salvation. But he favouring not the things of God, became ♦grievously offended. “His prejudice in short ran so high, that he declared, although he were shot for it, he would have satisfaction; adding with an oath, thou shalt never deceive another, for I am resolved to be the death of you just now.” ♦ “grievosly” replaced with “grievously” “I was quiet in my mind, being persuaded that the God of _Daniel_ was still the same, I did not feel the least anger, or rising of revenge towards him; and still reproved him whenever he swore. In the midst of his rage I reproved him in _Irish_. He was instantly amazed; and replied, ‘Why did you not speak _so_ to me in the beginning?’ The lion became a lamb, and I then let him know still speaking in _Irish_, what Christ had done for sinners. He departed with a broken heart.”
