1727 August 7 (Monday). I went to Mr. Thomas Newton’s, who had a great deal to Say about Mr. Peres Rice[1] and wanted much that he Should be brought under Church censure, Seeing the Court of Judicature had found him guilty of violating the Civil law, in the act against Selling drink without License. I was at said Rices also but not to Discourse with him, nor did I upon anything besides coming to Mow for me.
[1]Son of Thomas Rice, one of the original settlers of Westborough.
