1767 January 17 (Saturday). I met with a violent Blow at the wood Pile. A stick of wood I was cutting off flew with great Force into my Face; Struck my Mouth most directly; beat a large fore tooth into my Mouth, and filled my Mouth with Blood, Pain, Swelling; and is a great Trouble through the Day. May it prove a Benefit by making me sensible how exposed I am every minute, how dependent upon the glorious God and what Obligations I am under to glorifie Him!
