zealous as ever . A hall belonging to the Highland Society was hired for the next day , where , on Sunday 3 June & 4 , I preached three times to . large , respectable and attentive congregations .. li the morning I preached on the doctrines of the paternal government and
universal goodness of God ; in the afternoon , < m the misrepresentations of our orthodox brethren , respecting pur views of Christian truth ; and in the evening , pointed out some of the principal hindrances to the progress of truth , an 4 exhorted the people to a faithful , diligent a . nd impartial investigation of the

power or authority than the force of truth . Thursday , June 28 , 1 took the packetboat to JFalkirk , where I arrived about five o ' clock in the afternoon .
