Preaching by Bernard Martin

Mary Newton heard Wesley preach in London: Last night we heard Mr Wesley from John 5, 8, and 9. He spoke pretty enough from the former part of the chapter and he repeated several verses of different hymns. He spoke forty minutes, and there was nothing exceptional in what he said. There rather seemed to want something. When he had done preaching he spoke a considerable time about his illness in Ireland etc ... He spoke a long time and vastly well. I love to hear him, though I know him. He is clever and a very surprising man of his years.
