1728 March 21 (Thursday). Publick Fast. I preach’d all Day upon Hosea 13.9. I would Lament that there are So many others that profane these Dayes of our Solemn Assemblies, but I have chiefly Reason to Reflect upon and condemn my Self who have not been suitably prepar’d for, nor have been So full and Sincere in my Humiliation to Day as I ought to have been.
