At Bacup, Padiham and Colne

Tue 13 Apr 1779: I preached at nine to a crowded audience in the new house at Bacup; at one in the shell of the house at Padiham, where there is at length a prospect of peace, after abundance of disturbance caused by one who neither fears God nor reverences man. In the evening, I preached at Colne; but the people were still in such a panic that few durst go into the left-hand gallery.
