1745 April 21 (Sunday).  My Wife at Meeting again; the Lords Name be prais’d!  Preach’d on Heb. 13.17, and p.m. on Gal. 6.8.  Stopp’d the Church at noon.  N.B. p.m. Dr. Gott came to sermon but went out as Soon as it was over.  (See Church Records[1] for Stopping the Church at Noon.)

[1]“At Noon the Church was Stop’d to acquaint them with the Desire of Brother Samuel Fay junior to have not only his newborn Infant baptiz’d but a Child of about a year and half old, which had been neglected in this Time of their Great Trouble and Affliction, for which he was Sorry, and desir’d the Compassion of the Church which was freely extended to him and May God please to overlook the Sin of this Neglect. Accordingly p.m. Hannah and Ebenezer, of Samuel and Deliverance Fay baptized.” Westborough church records, April 21, 1745.
