Jan. 28. Many godly and sweet Ministers exiled from York∣shire, were provided for in Preston, and the parts adjacent: And this day they were pleased to observe with me a private Fast in my house; it was a comfortable day.
May 2. Bolton was taken: Colonel R. Forces Routed, and many a sweet Saint slain; no Quarter would be given, so that it grew into a Proverb, Bolton-quarter (i.) present death with∣out
mercy: Now I removed into Yorkshire, and the Lord pro∣vided for me comfortably, especially in Leeds.
June 14. Other two godly Ministers of Lancashire with my self, observed a publike Fast in Leeds new Church: The best people in and about the Town joyned with us.
June 21. This day the same Ministers joyned in a private day; some Christians of the place joyned with us, and the Lord sweetly inlarged our hearts: A good sign that he would return favorable answers.
July 2. and 5. Two solemn Fasts were observed at Manche∣ster: It was observed, That at the very same time of the former day, whilest an holy grave Minister was praying, that the Lord gave us the Victory (which was the turn of England) over Prince Ruperts Forces.
July 10. and 11. were days of Thanksgiving observed at Manchester for the same Victory: They were two comfort∣able days.
Aug. 17. I returned to Preston, and the next day Preached there before the General and Colonels: This was the Lords doings, to him be the glory and praise for ever.
