1760 October 25 (Saturday). Mr. Daniel Forb. dines here. N.B. He brings a News Paper in which is advertized a blue Great Coat with Velvet Cape, lent about last Election time and Supposed to be left at some Friends House; which it is desired may be returned to the owner. This I suppose is Mr. Eliots and which he supposed he had lent to me — the Evening after I had preached for him — but I know nothing in the World of it. P.M. Mr. Fessenden here going over to the North End to preach there tomorrow. N.B. In private Conversation (Since in his late Examination the Ministers omitted it) I asked him whether he could uprightly and sincerely Declare that as far as he knew himself he had reason to hope his End and Aim in undertaking to preach was not Carnal, but the Glory of God and to promote the Salvation of Men. He answered affirmatively.
