1738 September 17 (Sunday). Too much indispos’d still for my public Service, yet was oblig’d to try. Mr. Hunt preach’d a.m. on Tit. 3.2. I din’d at Mr. Noyes’s. N.B. I left my Bible at Home when I went to meeting p.m. I hastily fetch’d it. Mr. Noyes pray’d. I preach’d on Job 19.25. Supp’d at Mr. Noyes’s. N.B. Old Mr. Warham Mather,[1] the Rector and Mr. Daniel Edwards there after Supper. Walk’d to Mr. Prouts[2] where we were very kindly receiv’d. From thence we retir’d home. Several very Cool Nights.
