Memoir and Diary of John Yeardley, Minister of the Gospel

CHAPTER IX
14/28

This was a memorable visit.
We soon found cause, writes John Yeardley, to believe the Great Master had been before us, to prepare the way in the hearts of many to receive the doctrine he has mercifully enabled us to preach.

Our dear F.Passavant had given us a letter of introduction to Auguste Borel, a man of few words, but of a remarkably weighty and sweet spirit, who received us with the greatest affection.

He has lately separated from the national worship, and retires in silence in his own chamber.

He soon made us acquainted with a few others of a similar turn of mind.
Martha Yeardley, describing the commencement of their religious service in this place, says:-- We were invited to a meeting which we felt most easy to attend, and my husband was given full liberty to speak if he felt inclined; but for a while the usual activity of their meetings--such as singing, commenting on texts with Calvinistic explanations, &c .-- entirely closed our way.

But before they separated I ventured to request, in the name of my husband, that such as inclined would favor us with their company a while longer, and rest a little in silence.
