1745 December 22 (Sunday). Cold, cloudy Day. I preach’d a.m. on Heb. 9.27. P.M. I repeat’d from Col. 3.4, the Introduction but fill’d up the Exercise with the first part of sermon on Phil. 1.21, the first 12 pages. O that since it is settled by the Decree of Heaven that I must die I may So reallize that my Life may be a truely Christian Life — that for me to Live may be Christ and to die Gain!
