August 22, 1750

1750 August 22 (Wednesday).  It rain’d most of the Day.  Yet the Company chose to proceed on their Journey.  Mrs. Edwards left her Horse, and I supply’d her with my Mare.  Ebenezer went with Mrs. Edwards lame Beast to Mr. Barns’s for his Advice and Counsel, as last Night Mr. Tuthil went to Captain Maynards for his.  P.M. I preach’d the Lecture on Isa. 1.18.  I was peculiarly fervent; and could not but be so — do earnestly beg it may be bless’d to my own Soul, and to all the Audience; especialy to Mrs. Hitty Rice who was at meeting.  At Night Mrs. Edwards Mare (as it ought to have been writ before) is so bad that we fear whether she will live till morning.
