1745 March 10 (Sunday). Greatly Unprepar’d for public Service (as I am any Sabbaths) — go to my work but very dully; my mind crowded with the Composing of my sermon. Preach’d a.m. on John 27.3, but could not do justice to so grand and important a Subject. P.M. Repeat’d the remainder on Isa. 5.4. Mr. Jenison din’d with us, as did old Mrs. Byles[1] and old Mrs. Whipple,[2] and Mrs. Rebecca Tainter of Watertown. Exceeding high Winds.
[1]Widow of Captain Joseph Byles.
[2]Mrs. Francis Whipple.
