1752 February 4 (Tuesday). Cold and blustering weather. The season is still severe. Read second volume of Secret History of Europe. Mr. Grow here and brought me £12, 12 shillings, Old Tenor. Never were the times more difficult with me than now respecting money when I owe so many and have so little to pay ‘em with. This troubles me chiefly that I should be so unrighteous especially when not only a professor but a preacher of Righteousness. Lord deliver me out of this snare!
