Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Journal of the Rev. John Wesley, A. M, Vol. 4 of 4: From September 13, 1773, to October 24, 1790 Monday, September 13. My cold remaining, I was ill able to speak. In the evening I was much worse, my palate and throat being greatly inflamed; however, I preached as I could. But I could then go no farther. I could swallow neither liquids nor solids, and the windpipe seemed nearly closed. I lay down at my usual time, but the defluxion of rheum was so uninterrupted that I slept not a minute, till near three in the morning. On the following nine days I grew better. Fri. 17.1 went to Kingswood, and found several of the children still alive to God. Sat. 18. I gave them a short exhortation, which tired, but did not hurt me. Sun. 19. I thought myself able to speak to the congregation, which I did for half an hour; but afterwards I found a pain in my left side and in my shoulder by turns, exactly as I did at Canterbury twenty years before. In the morning I could scarce lift my hand to my head; but after being electrified I was much better, so that I preached with tolerable ease in the evening; and the next evening read the letters, though my voice was weak. From this time I slowly recovered my voice and my strength, and on Sunday preached without any trouble. Wed. 29. After preaching at Pensford, I went to Publow, and in the morning spent a little time with the lovely children. Those of them who were lately affected did not appear to have lost any thing of what they had received; and some of them were clearly gaining ground, and advancing in the faith which works by love. Sun. Oct. 3. I took a solemn leave of the Society at Bristol, now consisting of eight hundred members. Mon. 4. I went, by Sbepton-Mallet, to Shaftesbury, and on Tuesday to Salisbury.
