1750 December 2 (Sunday). Dr. Gott being ill, his son Benjamin came and dress’d Billy’s Leg, which (through Gods Mercy) was effected without any more bleeding. In the Public Service (to which I went somewhat late, 7 minutes after Eleven when I got here) read Lev. 8th. Preach’d on Ps. 23.4, a. and p.m. Din’d at Esq. Bakers. N.B. Walk’d up, rode back. N.B. Astonishing Accounts of Mr. Benjamin Lawrence’s[1] cruelty to his Boy Seem confirm’d. P.M. read John 20. Of both the Chapters which we read, I gave some brief Exposition.
