1745 May 31 (Friday). Mr. Cushing and Mr. Morse came up from Boston; and they gave me Some Account of what had been done at the Election and at the Convention. In particular at the latter Mr. Clark[1] of Salem Village preach’d a Seasonable, Close sermon with regard to Mr. Whitefields Errors of mis-conduct — and both he and his wife were present. The Collection was large, £290 Old Tenor. In the Convention Mr. Gee[2] and others made proposals of Subscribing the Platform and Confession of Faith; or Some other good Draught — but it was rejected. Mr. Prince[3] no longer Clerk, but Mr. Turell[4] chose in his Room.
