His next change was to Tedington near Kingston upon Thames, in which place he continued some years, and through the blessing of God with great success of his Ministry, and much acceptance amongst them that feared the Lord. During his abode at Tedington, he (being twenty six years of Age) had a desire to visit his native Country, where his Relations and Friends lived, and it pleased God so to assist him in his labours amongst them, that his journey became profitable for the Conversion of many. While he was in Cumberland, he was requested to Preach in Penroth, a great (if not the greatest) Market Town in the County, where, time out of mind there had been a considerable Market for all sort of food kept every Lords Day, till nine a Clock in the morning. But after he had Preached two or three Sermons, he prevailed so far with the Ministers and others of the Town, that it was Proclaimed on Tuesday their Weekly Market day. That no person for the time to come, should bring any Victuals or Ware whatsoever to be sold ⟨p. 8⟩on the Lords day, but that Saturday should be the time for the Sale of their Commodities. And for many years after, the people did forbear to sell any thing on the Lords-day in that Town.
