1723 August 4 (Sunday). In the Morning I was much Better, but my Sore Throat continued. I preach’d all Day on 1 Sam. 16.7. I din’d at Deacon Haywoods. I was obliged to retire to finish my Sermon at Noon Time. Sundry Persons (as Mr. Flagg,[1] etc.) came in to see me in the Evening.
[1]Either Benjamin Flagg (1662-1741) or his son Captain Benjamin Flagg (1690-1751).
