1746 November 27 (Thursday). Public Thanksgiving. I preach’d on Ps. 48.1.3.7.9.11. Disappointed of those whom we had design’d to dine with us — and had no Body but our own Folks. I would fain remember those who are in Affliction or are slenderly provided. For what we have receiv’d the Lord make us truely Thankfull, and of the Number of those Children of Judah who Spiritually rejoice in Gods Judgments! At Eve came Sir Williams from Marlborough and lodg’d here. N.B. He brought up Dr. Watts Sermon for me.
