1745 November 14 (Thursday). Through Gods Mercy, was very Comfortable though I had ben not without Fears of Rheumatic Turns! I rode to Sister Hicks’s[1] (Brother being at Cambridge), thence to Grafton, Deacon Whipples[2] and Mr. Prentices. Found Mr. Prentice very ill of his Disorders (the Piles) his wife also much indispos’d. N.B. Dissentions among the Brethren in Grafton that used to adhere to Mr. Prentice, a Number (Ebenezer Wadsworth at their Head) take in with the Canterbury Men lately among them. N.B. Ebenezer hous’d the Cattle last night in the Barn.
