1766 March 9 (Sunday). Read Isa. 13. Was unusually long in Exposition. Preached on Tit. 3.4 and delivered all I had prepared, for I chose to go out with the Application (neither curtailing nor leaving to another Time, lest it would by so doing be far less profitable). Old Mrs. Dunlop and Cousen Betty Gott dine here. (Neither Mr. Fessenden nor Master Cushing at meeting.) Read p.m. Luk. 14 and for Sermon (besides some what of Exposition) delivered [illegible] what I had preached heretofore on Mark 8.34 from p. 37, to 46. May God grant His efficacious Blessing! N.B. Mr. Whipple p.m. sat Bangor tune. N.B. Mr. Biglow delivered me a Packet containing a large Letter and two Pamphlets from Mr. Holbrook. At Evening read in Mr. Bolton, et supr. from p. 29 to 41.
