1770 July 20 (Friday). Could not set out Early in the Morning by Reason of many unexpected obstruction. Dined at Weston, at Mr. Woodwards. Called at Dr. Roby’s, Mr. Bridge’s, Capt. Wood’s, and engage Mr. Abraham to preach for me on the 12th or 19th of next month. Stopped and drank Tea at Dr. Joslins. Got home before 10. One Mr. Peas, of Enfield, was my Company part of the way. I found him a good deal in the Brownistical Way. He informed me of Mr. Ely’s Ordination at Summers, and that it was performed by Laymen: that he was present and liked it much. N.B. Mr. Forbes and Mrs. Loyd had got up here from Cambridge so as to dine here seasonably, and went to Capt. Allens, Shrewsbury.
