August 5, 1750

1750 August 5 (Sunday).  Read Exod. 32.  Preached a. and p.m. on Exod. 20.8.  The Beginning of the Sabbath my wife and I rode up to Esq. Bakers and din’d there.  It was Showery as it is almost every Day.  I have heard that divers persons were So Tenacious heretofore of their opinion that the Sabbath begins in the Morning, that they were very impatient at but the Expectation, Shall I Should mention the Contrary.  But I leave it unto God.  P.M. read John 8 latter part.
