January 14, 1739

1739 January 14 (Sunday).  A Morning of great Trouble!  The Childs soreness of Mouth had return’d for Two or Three Days, but we did not judge it in immediate Danger.  There was nothing of this discover’d in the first of the Morning.  But about nine o’Clock I was call’d down from my Study with the Alarm that the Child was dying!  About 10 She ceas’d to breath!  The will of the Lord be done!  I preach’d on Rev. 20.12.[1]  O that we might have a due sense of the Divine Mind Concerning us!

[1]Rev. 20.12: “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.”
