Summary

June 18th [1797]

Went from Imber about 6 o Clock; friend Ware & two others join'd in company with me in the way & about half past eight we reached Upheaven; went round the place & gave notice of preachg. by the Baptists & immediately preached from Rev. 1.5.6 to about 100 people, who behaved very well in the general. I found the Lord present & hope good was done. I promised that day month to be there again at 8 o Clock in the morng., but if I should be there sooner would go round the place & give notice as on that day. Put up the horse at an Inn, expence 3d. At about half past 10 preachd at Entford from Jhn 1.11.12 the people in general quiet & about 100 in number; 2d was given to some boys to run about & give notice of the preachg. The minister sent two persons with an order for me to give off preachg. or they were to take me into custody. I said they had no authority to take me into custody & advised them to take heed of the consequences & said farther to them let the minister come himself.
