1745 September 4 (Wednesday). Visited Mr. Daniel Forbushs wife, but she had not her Reason. Visited Mr. James Fays family — much uncomfortable Complaint of me and my improving the Neighbouring Ministers, Mr. Barrett Especially. N.B. Stephen Fay came and return’d as far as his house with me; and just before parting flew into a dreadful passion with me that I did not Consent to his going away to other Towns on the Lords Day: and immoderately rak’d up by [my?] Strict Charge given him about Mr. Elisha Paine. It griev’d me heartily to see him in such an high Ferment, but the Lord have Mercy on us and pardon us for his Name’s Sake!
