1726 May 25 (Wednesday). Mr. Thatcher[1] preach’d an Excellent Sermon from those words Psalm 77.20 “Thou leddest thy People like a Flock by the Hand of Moses and Aaron.” But I was much interrupted by a Lip full of anguish that put me to great Trouble. I was not at the publick Dinner for this Reason, that our Family were gathered together at my Fathers and I was Obliged to dine with them. And this, and my Lip detained me from the Convention.
[1]Reverend Peter Thatcher of Boston.
