1749 October 29 (Sunday). Through Gods tender Mercy we began another Year of Sabbaths. May we have Grace to keep them aright! I read Exod. 6 and gave a large Exposition. Preach’d once more on Eccl. 5.1, applying and improving the Subject according to the season But spent my Preparations in the forenoon service. P.M. read Luke 9 from 10.28, and repeat’d instead of a sermon Expositions on Mat. 8.19 to 22 (being Number 141, 142). Was a pritty raw Air, and the Meeting House very uncomfortable, So many great Windows being open yet, and the Doors unhung.
