HANDLINGAR TILL GEORGE SCOTTS VERKSAMHET I SVERIGE I 6 7
was known to the King before he granted his resolution, and it
really does appear, that although the British Government cannot
force upon the Swedes services which they do not wish to have,

been rather poorly, and on Saturday applied to Dr. Hunter, who
gave me some very powerful medicine. On Sabbath I heard in the
morning a most delightful sermon from Mr. P. C. Turner on Rom.
12: i. Seldom have I heard such powerfully persuasive eloquence,
and I wondered not, that this elegant & excellent preacher should
have been the instrument of awakening and converting I am told
thousands of souls. Olof Petterson knows him well, if I mistake
not. In the afternoon I walked upwards of four miles to Romney
Terrace Westminster, and preached the Missionary Sermon for Mr.
