April, 1808 ] Penzance Took a long walk today of above 8 miles, by Penzance, Stretnowan, Newlyn and Mousehole, to some high cliffs beyond Mousehole which command a most lovely view of the ocean — the day was so clear I saw the Lizard Lightouses quite plain. On my return I found Miss Hichens, & R. Hichens with Jane & Charlotte, After dinner Jane & I went to the Pascoes to a rout. ... XVII, 2 [ 3. April. 1808 ] Got up soon after 7. Walked, Went to breakfast at Mr. Robyns, with him & Miss Robyns. XVII, 3 Rode with him to Burien -— beautiful day. We went to church there. He officiated most admirably, but his voice is not good. His reading the prayers is at once impressive, solemn, & musical. He is not too slow like Mr. Legrice, but just hits the proper medium. His sermon on the subject of regulating our conduct by the dictates of religion, both with a view to our future life and to the discharge of our duty in this, was one of the best I ever heard -- its language, precepts, & reasonings were so plain & simple, yet so impressive and af- fecting: & the delivery of it was animated, yet tempered by propriety & modesty, altogether indeed just what it ought to be -- and independent of my regard for Robyns, if I had never seen him before, I should have equally thought I never had seen the service altogether so well performed. The Church is ex- tremely large -- & was, except the chancel, quite filled by a most decent & respectable & attractive congregation.
