He expatiated on the tenderness and loving-kindness of the apostles, as manifested in labours, perils, and sufferings, towards the poor Gentiles, and contrasted their treatment of the Gentiles with it, whom he described in the persons of their slaves: and was much satisfied with the result of his discourse.
From this time we collect little more from his journal concerning him, than that, in 1772, he embarked for England on a religious visit.

After his arrival there, he travelled through many counties, preaching in different meetings of the Society, till he came to the city of York.

But even here, though he was far removed from the sight of those whose interests he had so warmly espoused, he was not forgetful of their wretched condition.

At the quarterly meeting for that county, he brought their case before those present in an affecting manner.

He exhorted these to befriend their cause.
He remarked that as they, the Society, when under outward sufferings, had often found a concern to lay them before the legislature, and thereby, in the Lord's time, had obtained relief; so he recommended this oppressed part of the creation to their notice, that they might, as the way opened, represent their sufferings as individuals, if not as a religious society, to those in authority in this land.
