Memoir and Diary of John Yeardley, Minister of the Gospel

CHAPTER X
28/34

We meet once every two weeks when nothing intervenes to prevent.
The autumn of this year was taken up with a series of public meetings, mostly in the East Riding, in the greater part of which J.and M.Y.

had the company of Isabel Casson of Hull.
In the Eleventh.

Month, at the same time that they returned the minute which had been granted them, for this service, they laid before their friends the prospect of more extensive travel in the work of the Gospel than any they had undertaken before.

The time was come for John Yeardley to pay that debt of Christian love to the benighted inhabitants of Greece which he had felt to press for years upon his mind; and at the same time he and Martha Yeardley believed it to be required of them to revisit some of the places of their former service, and to take up their abode for a while with companies of persons whom they should find like-minded with themselves; and also to perform the unaccomplished duty of visiting the Piedmontese valleys.

Considering the extent of country over which they travelled, the varied nature of their labors, and the large number of serious-minded and sympathizing persons with whom they were brought into relation, this journey may perhaps be regarded as the most active and fruitful period of their lives.
