1749 September 3 (Sunday). This Day we first met in the New Meeting House. Molly and I with Suse and Alex rode in the Chair, Thomas and Lucy rode upon the Horse, Ebenezer and Billy went o’foot — Thus eight of us got to Meeting. In the Exercise us’d the Lords Prayer. I read 1 King 8th Chapter, but (according to desire) expounded Genesis 49 which was read last Lords Day. Sang Psalm 92.12 ad. fin. Preach’d on Rev. 3.3. Din’d at Edward Baker Esquire’s — but my Children all went home. P.M. read and gave Expository remarks on Luke 3. Sang Psalm 132.4 to the End of the 10th omitting the 16th. Preach’d once More on Rev. 3.3. Baptiz’d 3 Children of Mr. David Bathrick, and one of Mr. Eleazer Whitney. O that we might have the Grace to review, hold fast, and repent! We got home in good Season. It grieves me that Such a Number of my near Neighbours were absent from Meeting.
