WHITEFIELDS CURATE 87 On April 9th Whitefield, after having paid a second visit to Wales, reached his native city. Early friends who took an interest in him and his work must have been peculiarly grati- fied both with his vast and extending influence and with the humble manner in which he bore his successes ; and there was also one, who had not been counted of that number, who had more joy than any of them. It was ' old Cole,' the Dissenting minister. Some one had told the good man the smart saying of the youth of thirteen about stories in the pulpit, and when he heard Whitefield tell one in one of the city pulpits, he quietly remarked : ' I find that young White- field can now tell stories as well as old Cole.' He used to subscribe himself Whitefield's curate, and follow him in his excursions into the country to preach after him. ' These are ! days of the Son of man, indeed ' he would exclaim, as he followed up the younger man's work. He had an end beauti- fully in keeping with his zeal and the simplicity of his char- acter. One evening, while preaching, he was struck with death ; he then asked for a chair to lean on, till he concluded his sermon. That finished, they carried him upstairs, and he ' ! died. O blessed God ' exclaims Whitefield, when telling the story, ' ' if it be Thy holy will, may my exit be like his ! It was not unlike. Passing through Chafford, Painswick, Stroud, Stonehouse, Cheltenham, Badsey, Evesham, and Bengeworth, and preaching in bowling-greens, in town-halls, and in fields, as he went, he came to Oxford. Here, through his going to exhort one of the societies, the vice-chancellor fell foul of him. The society had before been threatened, if they continued to meet for ex- hortation ; and when the ' were all upstairs, and on the point of bidding Whitefield goodbye before he started for London, the vice-chancellor sent for him to come down. In a passion, he demanded to know if Whitefield had his name in any book
88 GEORGE WH1TEF1ELD there. ' Yes, sir,' was the reply, ' but I intend to take it out ' soon.' The vice-chancellor said : Yes ; and you had best take yourself out too, or otherwise I will lay you by the heels. What do you mean by going about and alienating people's affections from their proper pastors ? Your works are full of vanity and nonsense ; you pretend to inspiration. If you ever come again in this manner among these people, I will lay you first by the heels, and these shall follow.' Then he turned his back and went away. Whitefield turned, and having prayed with his friends, set out for London. Letters from Savannah, contain- ing good news, met him at Uxbridge, and made him desire an early departure to the people of his charge. His eleven weeks' labour in the country had kindled a fire which is not extinguished to this day.
