Wednesday, September 1, 1790:
I returned to Bristol; and, it being the first day of the fair, I spoke strongly from the words of Solomon: "Buy the truth, and sell it not." In the two following days, I corrected and abridged the account of the excellent woman, Mrs. Scudamore; a bright and shining light, till the Mystics persuaded her to put her light under a bushel: so that for above two years she renounced all conversation with even her pious friends! How does this agree with Scripture? "All my delight is in the Saints that are on the earth, and with them that excell in virtue." How far was the experience of Jane Cooper, or Elizabeth Harper, preferable to that of such a solitary!
