with Jehovah on my side, I shall be enabled to put all my enemies to flight.

"25th.-God is the strength of my heart, and, I believe, will be my portion for ever. My health declines, and my feeble body is, as it were, crumbling into dust; but I am enabled to rejoice,-yea, to rejoice abundantly, when I think that my dissolution is near. I have frequently remarked, that when I feel worst in body, my spiritual joy generally abounds the most. Thus as my day is, so is my strength.

66 27th.-I feel as much as ever the need of watchfulness and diligence, in order to come off at last conqueror over sin, death, and hell. I am determined to take heed to my ways, to keep my heart with all diligence, to grow up to the fulness of the stature of Christ Jesus my Lord. I believe, in a small degree, I am growing in grace, and am more conformed to the will of God. Thoughts of the bliss which I have a good hope of enjoying in the heavenly world lift my soul above the cares of this, and enable me constantly to rejoice in God as my portion.

"28th. (Good Friday.)-While meditating

6.

on the boundless love of Christ, my mind has been sweetly drawn out towards him. Had I ten thousand hearts, they should all be his: had I ten thousand tongues, they should all be employed in singing my great Deliverer's praise.

'Amazing love, and can it be,

That thou, my God, should'st die for me?' Blessed be God, the Saviour hath died for me, for my sins.

'Redemption through his blood I have,

And spotless love and peace!'

O, I can praise him from a feeling of his goodness towards me. I love him with all my heart, and I feel that he loves me.

"31st.-Attended the Missionary Meeting at Penzance. God was in his temple; and I rejoiced that I was inclined by his good Spirit to attend this means of grace, and to contribute towards sending the light of divine truth to the Heathen. Lord, hasten the happy day when all shall know thee.

"April 3d.-I long to be more fully the Lord's. I lament that I am so much at ease in Zion; so far content with my present attainments, that I do not struggle, and agonize, and believe for a much larger mea

I am.

sure of that salvation which I do in some measure enjoy; yet blessed be God for what He has defended me from ten thousand dangers, visited me with ten thousand of his choicest blessings, adopted me into his family, and given me the promise of eternal life. May I never prove unfaithful: may I never look back. Onward! Onward! be the cry of my soul; and may my whole life redound to the praise of God.

"8th. While I write, the wind blows tremendously, and many are now on the wide deep tossed about on its waves. I too not unfrequently feel that I am tossed to and fro on the billows of this life, amidst rocks and quicksands, and at times in imminent danger of suffering shipwreck and becoming a castaway. I bless God for his preserving grace: he has brought me through all dangers hitherto, and I trust that at last he will guide my bark into the haven of eternal

repose.

"11th.-The same persons who lodged here the night before my conversion, when all was dark, dark, dark, slept here again tonight. The circumstance brought to my recollection my feelings at that time,--how

I strove, and wept, and prayed, and groaned, and endeavoured to believe. I thought on my former state and perilous condition,-how ignorant I was of the deceitfulness and depravity of my own heart; what I felt after my conviction and prior to my conversion; of the way which the Lord my God hath since led me in the wilderness; and of my present views and feelings. O what a glorious contrast! what a happy change! I, who was once afar off, am now brought near through the blood of the Lamb; brought into covenant with the Deity. O God, for ever and ever. Still I come as I am, and cast myself upon Christ; and thus am I accepted.

Glory to thee,

"17th.—I take no step, I do not go any where, however small the distance, without first asking God's blessing and direction. Before I do any thing, I pray that he would influence my mind to do only what is for his glory. My intentions, I believe, are pure, in all I do; and I live, I trust, to glorify God, to show forth his praise, and to get good to my immortal soul.

"18th.-Although my health is fast declining, yet I am saved from the fear of death,

and the love of life; and when before God, I have no power nor inclination to offer up a single petition for lengthened life or better health. No; I bless his holy name, my will is lost in his.

'My Father's hand prepares the cup,

And what he wills is best,'

I am not weary of the world; yet I love it not, and it has nothing but what I can freely resign. I do love God, and God is love; and never was Christ more precious than at this moment.

"22d.-The enemy is not asleep, and for some time past, he has almost incessantly assailed me with his fiery darts; and although I have in some degree been cast down, I have neither been destroyed nor forsaken. Of myself, I am perfect weakness; but I stand in the power and grace of Christ. He has promised, and I feel it to be so, that my strength shall be proportioned to my day, and that no weapon formed against me shall prosper. Christ is all to me, wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. My best works are nothing;none but Christ!

"25th.My soul is alive to God. How
