July 29, 1764

1764 July 29 (Sunday).  Read Prov. 14.  Preached on v. 12.  Mrs. Maynard dined with us.  P.M. read Mat. 22 from v. 23.  Preached on Mat. 16.18.  N.B. propounded Mrs. Hannah Rice, wife of Adonijah.  N.B. Mr. Stretton of Waltham at Meeting — but not at my House.  N.B. Though it was an heavy Rain between Meetings and especially at the Time of re-assembling, yet there was a considerable Congregation.  Might we all profit by the Divine Word, and not deceive our selves!  At Evening instead of my usual Repetition I read a part of Mr. Robert Boltons Treatise of right comforting afflicted Consciences, from p. 33 to 56.  Which may God bless to our awakening and Saving Good!
