1746 February 22 (Saturday). The Day somewhat moderate. Esquire Williams accompany’d to Worcester — and then I left him to prosecute his Journey to Brookfield. I unhappily miss’d of Mr. Emmerson[1] who came from Worcester to preach at Westborough whilst I went there to gratifie the Request of the Committee at Worcester in administering the Ordinance of Baptism among them. Lodg’d at Mr. Eatons.[2]
