In 1739 Whitefield wrote: 'God having given me great favour in the gaoler's eyes, I preached a sermon on the Penitent Thief, to the poor prisoners in Newgate. He began to read prayers and preach to them every day, till the Mayor and Sheriffs forbade Mr. Dagge to allow him to preach again. Tyerman's Whitefield, i. 179. Vol. ii. p. 163. Mrs. Piozzi has omitted the name, she best knows why.
There is a page in Tyerman's monumental "Life of George Whitefield," which illustrates, as few pages do, the quality of that essential of true and effective preaching in regard of which we are now to speak. It is that page in which are described the last hours of the great evangelist. Fifteen miles from Portsmouth, at Exeter, he was stopped and persuaded to preach.
