Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spiritual Quixote, or the Summer's Ramble of Mr. Geoffry Wildgoose, Vol. 2 of 2: A Comic Romance, to Which Is Prefixed the Life of the Author The time was now come when they were to attend Mr. Whitfield to Kingswood; where. When they arrived after a sultry walk, they found about ten thousand people assembled; the trees and hedges being lined with spectators. There had been a vio lent storm of thunder and lightning; but this was dispelled by a single ejaculation; and Providence was pleased so visibly to interpose, in causing the weather to clear up just as he began, that Mr Whit field could not avoid taking notice of it in his dis course to the people, and to hint, that the course of nature had been altered in favour of his harangue. The sun now shone, and all Was hushed; and not withstanding the distance of some part of the audi ence, they all heard distinctly; for, indeed, the wind was extremely favourable. Whilst all was thus in a profound calm for near an hour, every one being attentive to the voice of the preacher, on a sudden the skies again grew black, and the assembly was alarmed a second time, by a most tremendous volley of thunder and light ning, and a storm of rain.
