Nitschmann. Nov. 2nd.

We sailed further. In the early prayer service we considered Eph. 4, the
unity of the Spirit, and the means of preserving the bond of peace. In
the song service many points of doctrine were discussed with the English
clergyman, also the decline and loss of power.

A dense fog and unpleasant weather, so we lay still at anchor.

Nitschmann. Nov. 4th.

I visited the other ship, (the 'London Merchant', Capt. Thomas) where
the so-called Salzburgers are. I spend most of my time studying English.

Having a rolling sea, most of the passengers found the effects of it.
Mr. Delamotte was exceeding sick for several days, Mr. Ingham for about
half an hour. My brother's head ached much. Hitherto it has pleased God
the sea has not disordered me at all.

During our stay in the Downs, some or other of us went, as often as we
had opportunity, on board the ship that sailed in company with us, where
also many were glad to join in prayer and hearing the word.

Nitschmann. Nov. 5th.

We prayed for the Congregation at Herrnhut, and also that we might be
one with it in spirit. In the evening we spoke of the Lord's protection,

The elements may rage,
The firmament may shiver,
We are safe-guarded.

Wesley. Oct. 31st.

We sailed out of the Downs. At eleven at night I was waked by a great
noise. I soon found there was no danger. But the bare apprehension of
it gave me a lively conviction what manner of men those ought to be, who
are every moment on the brink of eternity.

(This afternoon we came near Portsmouth, and anchored. Today Dober began
to study English, and learned the Lord's Prayer.--Dober's Diary.)

Wesley. Nov. 1st, Saturday.

We came to St. Helen's harbour, and the next day into Cowes road. The
wind was fair, but we waited for the man-of-war which was to sail with
us. This was a happy opportunity of instructing our fellow travellers.
May He whose seed we sow, give it the
