1744 December 6 (Thursday). We accomplish’d the Arduous and Sorrowful Affair of Mr. Welds Separation and Dismission from his people. Mr. Hall went away Home before the Solemn reading of the Result. Mr. Peabody, Bucknam[1] and I invited Mr. Weld to our Pulpits and we all offer’d to preach a Lecture to the people at proper seasons. Mr. Peabody and Bucknam to preach tomorrow. Deacon Newton return’d Home in the Night, but Mr. Whipple stay’d to accompany me.
[1]Rev. Nathan Bucknam of East Medway(now Millis).
