King's Bridge and New York

Thursday October 30. Preached in the morning to about 300 people, and observed a sweet melting among them. Dined and rode six miles to King's-Bridge, where I preached from the steps of a public house to about 500; but did not perceive much visible effect. Here several of New-York friends came to meet me. I talked with them on the way of the things of God, and found an inexpressible satisfaction in my soul when I arrived at the house of my very dear friend Mr. Noble. After supper, the Lord filled my heart, and gave me to wrestle with him for New-York inhabitants, and my own dear friends. To add to my comfort, the Lord brought my dear Brother Davenport from Long-Island, by whose hands the blessed Jesus has of late done great things. In a letter to his mother he writes thus: The Lord has, in infinite mercy, given me, in my parish, near twenty, in a little more than two months' time. In almost all these the work of conversion seemed very clear. Let God have all the praise, even so, Lord Jesus, Amen and Amen.
