23 February 1756 – 29 February 1756

I paid another visit to Canterbury, but came in too late to preach.

Abundance of soldiers and many officers came to the preaching. And surely the fear and the love of God will prepare them either for death or victory.

I dined with Colonel ---, who said, “No men fight like those who fear God; I had rather command five hundred such, than any regiment in his Majesty’s army.”
