1745 September 24 (Tuesday). Greatly Troubled at the Slender success of our Advice last night. Captain Maynard going to Boston. I sent Letters by him to Reverend Messrs. Webb[1] and Eliot[2] respecting the meeting of ministers this week at Boston to subscribe Confessions of Faith. At Eve Mr. Ebenezer Rice here to be Examin’d. I began a Letter to the Committee of the North Precinct — in which I would fain qualifie their Tempers so far as to be Condescending to their Brethren and induce them to proceed with moderation in their Affairs. Catechiz’d young Women. Preach’d to them on Mat. 13.39.
[1]Rev. John Webb of Boston.
[2]Rev. Andrew Eliot of Boston.
