November 17, 1747

1747 November 17 (Tuesday).  I read Mr. Hurrion’s sermons on particular Redemption.[1]  After Dinner I sat down and wrote some Sketches on the second Commandment which I deliver’d at a Catechetical Exercise to young women this afternoon.  After the Said Exercise I visited Martha Ward who is in a languishing Condition.

[1]John Hurrion (1675?-1731), an English Congregational minister, wrote The Scripture Doctrine of Particular Redemption Stated and Vindicated in Four Sermons.  When this first appeared is uncertain but it may have been in his Discourses, 3 vols. (London, 1727).
