1745 April 7 (Sunday). I Repeat’d on 2 Cor. 6.2. I receiv’d a bitter and ungrateful Letter from Mr. William Jenison.[1] Am sorry especially that I should be disturb’d with it on the Lords Day. The Lord grant me a patient and forgiving Spirit! Brother Hicks who lodg’d here, din’d with me as did Mrs. Tainter[2] and Mrs. Patience Woods.[3] At Eve Brother Hicks rode home, and Mr. Belcher Hancock,[4] who had preach’d at North Sutton, came, and lodged here.
[1]Jenison was bitter because the Marlborough Association would not recommend him to fill the pulpit of the north precinct of Westborough.
[2]Mrs. Simon Tainter.
[3]Mrs. Solomon Woods.
[4](HC 1727), tutor at Harvard College. SHG 8:137-140.
