In Rotterdam, Dr. Koker showed the party much kindness,
while at Baron von Watteville's in Ysselstein, they were received
"as at home". At Amsterdam, they joined in the meeting of the "societies"
established under Moravian influences, and from there proceeded to Cologne,
and up the Rhine to Frankfort. Having neglected to supply themselves
with passports, they experienced much difficulty whenever they reached
a walled city, sometimes being refused admittance altogether,
and at other times being allowed to enter only after much delay,
which caused Wesley to "greatly wonder that common sense and common humanity
do not put an end to this senseless, inhuman usage of strangers."
When any of their number had an acquaintance in the city
to which they had come they sent in a note to him, and he would arrange
for their entrance, and at Frankfort they applied to Peter Boehler's father,
who entertained them "in the most friendly manner."
On Tuesday, July 15th, they reached Marienborn, where Wesley remained
for fifteen days, and Ingham for about seven weeks.
From Marienborn, Wesley went to Herrnhut, stopping at Erfurt, Weimar, Jena,
Halle, Leipsig and Dresden on the way.
