1754 November 24 (Sunday). Very Cold Night, the last. Read 1 Sam. 17, from number 32. Preach’d on Rev. 5.9. At Dinner were besides Ebenezer and his Wife, Mr. Hezekiah How, and Mrs. Lydia Cutting. P.M. read Rev. 12, and by reason of my difficult Circumstances (especially being oblig’d to help yesterday in Carting out Muck) was oblig’d to repeat an old Discourse. It was an Expository Exercise on Mat. 12.42. Omitted to appoint the Communion to my great Sorrow.
