1742 March 27 (Saturday). Received a Message from Lieutenant Holloways that last Eve Ebenezer Shooting off a little Musket at a Partridge was in utmost Danger by the Gun’s bursting. The praise to God for such a Deliverance. Let his Life be to God! N.B. Mr. James Fay and Mr. Francis Whipple[1] here. P.M. a great Deal of Discourse concerning the Assurance of every new Convert.
[1]Francis Whipple and his wife Abigail joined the Westborough church by dismissal from the Third Church in Ipswich, Jan. 6, 1734 (WCR, 33).
