November 10, 1745

1745 November 10 (Sunday).  Sacrament.  Preach’d on 2 Cor. 3.18.  N.B. Mr. Joseph Batchellor from Grafton at Communion.  Though I was not without fears that he would be objected against.  Deacon Fay,[1] Mrs. Billings,[2] and Mrs. Caruth at Dinner here.  Too few of the North side at Meeting.  N.B. I publickly warn’d people who were wont to go away home on sacrament noons without returning again, that they beware of so ill a practice.  P.M. I repeated Exposition on Mat. 13.14, from Luke 13.24.

[1]Capt. John Fay.

[2]Mrs. Thomas Billings of the north precinct.
