I have had a very peaceable and prosperous Journey, since I came into Scotland hitherto. I came to Edenburgh at the time appointed, and stayed here one first day: and then took my Journey into the North, and I. H. and I. T. with me, and spent about three weeks there, and in my Jour∣ney: had Meetings, while I was there, almost every day, and a blessed open Service (through the Lord's Power) a∣mongst Friends. For there is an open, tender-hearted People, and they were glad of my coming; for there had not been any English Friend among them of a long time. And being clear, I. T. and I came away this day a Week, and left I. H. there; we got to this Town the fourth day of the last Week, and was at Edenburgh the fifth day at their Page  84 Meeting, and yesterday had a blessed Meeting there in the Fore-noon, and here the Afternoon: and to morrow we in∣tend to take our Journey for the West; and do hope to be clear this day a Week to go for England, and hope to be in Cumberland to morrow a Week (if the Lord will.) Hi∣therto all hath been very quiet where I have been; and I hear nothing, but Friends Meetings are quiet all over Scot∣land, and Friends are suffered to be quiet: but in some pla∣ces they are very busie with some other People. Here hath been a pretty deal a-do about a Plot; but of these things we know nothing, nor in such doings have no hand, and there∣fore about it desire not to meddle. Though others doings may bring Sufferings upon us; yet still our Happiness is, to be kept Innocent, that if we suffer, it may not be for e∣vil-doing; and then it will be well.
