1749 May 2 (Tuesday). Visited Mrs. Deborah Brigham who is yet ill. P.M. Was Sent for by the Society at the Framing the design’d Meeting House, to go and pray with them as they were now going to lay the Groundsills of the House. The persons who came with the message were Messrs. Biglo and Daniel Hardy. I went and pray’d with them and after prayer I put them in mind of what I had Said to them on the Lords Day past. N.B. a very Cold Wind — fear I took Cold. Indeed my Heart was too Cold, at least was very difficulty brought to this Work. I find Indeed a great deal of Wisdom and Grace to go through what is now called for. O that God would grant that as the Day is So my Strength may be! Finish’d planting.
