A doctrine not very welcome to the inhabitants of palaces

Mon. 15 Aug 1774. I set out for Wales but did not reach Cardiff till near eight o’clock. As the congregation was waiting in the town hall, I went thither without delay. And many, I believe, did not regret the time they had waited there. Tue. 16. I preached about noon in the great hall at Llandaff on ‘It is appointed unto men once to die.’ Strange doctrine and not very welcome to the inhabitants of palaces!
