May 22, 1747

1747 May 22 (Friday).  Rode over and attend’d (with Mr. Martyn whom I went to, and took with me) the Funeral of Mr. Joseph Wheeler, who is the seventh of the 12 original members who have deceas’d.  I pray’d abroad with the people — the Corps being Set before us. The Lord Sanctifie this Death to us all! After Prayer, Mr. Martyn accompanying the Corps to the Grave, I rode over to see Betty Ball who is very low and dangerous and pray’d with her.  Thence to Captain Eagers where the mourners in their Return halted and retir’d to have me read the will of the deceas’d Mr. Wheeler. O that God would truely awaken us, and fit us for our own Turn!
