10 – In one of his last sermons in London, in 1769, Whitefield
exclaimed: “Once, when I was preaching in Scotland, I saw
ten thousand people affected in a moment, some with joy,
others crying, ‘I cannot believe,’ others, ‘God has given
me faith,’ and some fainting in the arms of their friends.
Seeing two hardened creatures upon a tombstone, I cried
out, ‘You rebels, come down,’ and down they fell directly,
and exclaimed, before they went away, ‘What shall we do to
be saved?’” (Whitefield’s Eighteen Sermons, published by
Gurney, 1771, p. 290.)

14 – An appellation given, by the French, to the Calvinists of
the Cevennes, who formed a league, in 1688; and who, in
their boldness, crimes, and enthusiasm, resembled the
Circumcelliones of Africa.
15 – In reply to this monstrous edict, a pamphlet was published,
with the title. “A Friendly Caution to Seceders,” in
which they were persuaded not to make Whitefield’s success,
and the word of God at Cambuslang and elsewhere, the
reasons of their fast. The author treats “The Associate
Presbytery,” and especially Adam Gibb, with great, but
deserved, severity, for their behaviour to Whitefield.
16 – “Fraud and Falsehood Detected” was not published in
Erskine’s collected works. For the sermons here mentioned,
see “The Sermons and other Practical Works of the Rev.
Ralph Erskine.” 8vo. 1777, vol. vii., p. 373, etc., p. 423,
etc., and p. 441, etc. The first of these sermons was
preached at Stirling, June 13, the second at Dunfermline,
June 11th, and the third at Abbotshall, August 9th, 1742.

32 – Whitefield’s suggestion was not adopted. Mr. Meriton, soon
after this, became one of Wesley’s clerical helpers in
England.
33 – The Society consisted of widows, married people, young men,
and spinsters. At the Society meetings, these different
classes of persons occupied separate places in the
Tabernacle, each class receiving from Whitefield, in the
colloquial style, various exhortations suitable to their
different stations. (See Dr. Campbell’s “Services at the
Centenary Celebration of Whitefield’s Apostolic Labours,
held in the Tabernacle, Moorfields, May 21, 1839,” p. 26.)

38 – Howell Davies was a remarkable man. Having spent some
time at a country school, he was put under the care of
the Rev. Griffith Jones, the founder of the “moveable
free schools.” With the assistance of Mr. Jones, he made
great proficiency in the Latin and Greek languages, and in
other branches of learning. In due time, he was ordained
a minister of the Church of England. The first church
in which he was called to officiate was Lys-y-fran, in
Pembrokeshire; but he was soon dismissed, on account of
his zeal for Christ and the salvation of sinners. For some
time, the largest churches throughout Wales were open to
him; and thousands upon thousands flocked to hear him.
The attendance at the monthly sacraments in his church
at Haverfordwest was seldom less than two thousand, and
sometimes was more than twice that number; the church
being frequently emptied to make room for remaining
communicants. He _statedly_ preached in four different
places, besides his daily labours in houses, barns,
fields, commons, and mountains. He became the chief leader
of Calvinistic Methodism in Pembrokeshire; and was an
intimate friend of Whitefield, whom he often accompanied
in his journeys. To the day of his death, he was one of
the regular supplies at the Tabernacle and at Tottenham
Court Chapel, London. He also was a frequent preacher
in the Tabernacles at Bristol and Kingswood, and in
the Countess of Huntingdon’s chapels at Bath, Brighton,
Tunbridge Wells, and other places. He died in the same
year as Whitefield, and was buried in Prengast Church,
Haverfordwest.――_Evangelical Magazine_, 1814.

Davies’ churches, and that twelve thousand were present.

able to correct them all.――L. T.

works. It is very long, but contains nothing demanding
observation.
57 – There was, however, a little discordance. A letter was
read, from J. Richards, one of the public exhorters, “in
which he objected to the division of the members of the
Society into _married_, _single_, and _widows_.” (“Life

Assize held at Gloucester, March 3rd, 1743, between some
of the People called Methodists, Plaintiffs, and certain
Persons of the Town of Minchin-Hampton, in the said County,
Defendants. In a Letter to a Friend. By George Whitefield,
A.B., late of Pembroke College, Oxford. London: printed

74 – The Rev. John Barker was now in the sixty-first year of
his age. He began his ministry in 1709, and for four years
acted as assistant to the Rev. Benjamin Grosvenor, D.D.
On the death of the celebrated Matthew Henry, in 1714,
Mr. Barker became his successor, in Mare Street, Hackney.
In 1738, for unknown reasons, he resigned his pastorate at
Hackney; and, after three years of rest, became, in 1741,
minister of the congregation at Salters’ Hall, where he
continued until a short time before his death, in 1762.
He numbered among his _intimate_ friends Doddridge, Watts,
Gilbert West, Lord Lyttleton, etc. (Wilson’s “Dissenting
Churches in London.”)
