1745 September 25 (Wednesday). Besides finishing my Letter to the Committee I wrote affectionately to the dissatisfy’d party if possible to Calm them a little under their uneasiness and Caution them against the evils to which they are now in great Danger — especially against prostituting and sacrificing the Interests of the Soul to Temporal etc., being afraid, from Some discourse from them that they are in Danger of turning to the Church of England. At Eve Stephen Fay here with his uneasiness Still, for my reproofs at the Time of Mr. Elisha Pain and for my Saying at his Brother Fays that his [Stephen’s] wife had acknowledged to me that her disaffection to Me and my ministrations was from a wrong Spirit which was true. See her talk with me, May 3, 1744.
