Traveled to Yarlington. Preached to a woman about an hour and half. Thence to Bruton Railway station to see Bro. Birch. Spent a short time with him. Then went to South Bruham, where I had previously sold some tracts. Found much prejudice in the minds of those to whom I had sold them. Went to North Bruham. Found Bro. John Rolls wey ill, and administered to him. Then traveled to Upton Noble, and slept at Bro. Rawlings's.

In company with Bro. Rawlings, looked for a place in which to baptize the saints. In the afternoon, started for North Bruham to rebaptize Bro. & Sis. Rolls. Passing a Methodist Chapel, we went in and heard the sermon. But oh! what a contrast! As much differences between their doctrines and the doctrines of Jesus Christ as there is between hell and heaven. I thank my Heavenly Father that I have been enabled to obtain a little light, through his infinite mercy and loving kindness. Then on to Bruham. Took tea at Bro. Rolls's. He, being still sick, was afraid to venture into the water. Returned to Upton Noble, accompanied by Sis. Rolls. Rebaptized 6 members of the Branch and baptized 2 of Bro. Rawlings's children who were about 8 years old. Returned and reconfirmed and confirmed 7 of them, viz: James Rawlings, Edwin do, Elizabeth do, Wm. do, Elizabeth do, jun., Gideon do, and Elizabeth Rolls. In reconfirming, I reordained James Rawlings an Elder and set him apart as Prest. Of the Branch and ordained Edwin a Deacon. Finished at Midnight. Slept at Bro. Rawlings's.

Went to Batcomb. Reconfirmed Sis. Harriet Rawlings. She was one of the 8 baptized the evening before. From there I went to Chelynch, and visited sister Eliza Warr, but she could not make it convenient to be rebaptized then. Went to Stoke Lane to see my cousin Taylor, to whom I had loaned tracts. They were being read. Cousin not at home. Bore testimony to his wife. Went to Soho. Spent the evening with Bro. Justinian Warr's family. He did not come home till 10 P.M. Tried to get Sis Warr to be rebaptized, but she did not consent then, as she was peculiarly situated - had to go out to work, and, in taking some meals where she worked, if she refused tea, she was afraid of losing her work, as prejudice was strong.
