November 13, 1745

1745 November 13 (Wednesday).  Notwithstanding the weather was rugged yet I ventur’d up to Sutton to the Fast on account of the Sickness there.  It was almost noon when I got there.  Exercise was begun.  I turn’d into the nearest Pew to the Door, after Mr. Hall had pray’d, and preach’d from 1 Thess. 5.19.  At Eve Mr. James Fay[1] at Mr. Halls.  Mr. Prentice not very well, return’d with Mr. Fay: but I tarry’d at Mr. Halls.
