1751 January 13 (Sunday). Very Rainy. The Rain with the Snow upon the Earth make it very difficult going to Meeting. A few of us arrive there. A.M. read several parts of Lev. 13, Scil. the heads of the paragraphs and gave Some Expository Observations. Preach’d a. and p.m. on 2 Sam. 33.3. So very rainy at Noon that I acquainted the Congregation that I Should not go out of the Meeting House, and desir’d them that went out to come in again, in 1/4 of an Hour. I eat a bit of Bread and Cheese which my Maid handed to me in the Pulpit, and I was much refresh’d. P.M. according to my proposal to the Congregation I went not out of the House, but began the Second Service as soon as the people gather’d in. Read Acts 4, and gave Some glances upon it. Preach’d as aforesaid. Got home safely though it was very tedious to me. However I bless God for my many Comforts which I am favour’d with! After Supper and the Evening Exercise in my Family I read to them Mr. Baxters Preface to his Call. May God grant His Awakening Spirit to accompany it and render it profitable!
