June 30, 1754

1754 June 30 (Sunday).  Read and expounded for the a.m. Exercise 1 Sam., chapter 1.  P.M. read 1 John 1, and preach’d on Rom. 6.3.4.  Forenoon Exercise finish’d Somewhat before 12.  Although I was Still but in a weak State yet had today Some Appetite to my Dinner which I have not had for some time.  Stay’d the Church at Eve and related to them what I had done about the Sudbury Letter, and so endeavour’d to remove all misunderstandings among them about that Affair, and I said that if any one of them had any Thing to offer there was Opportunity but no Body Spake.  So the Church was dismiss’d with Blessing, and I desir’d that those who were appointed Delegates to the Holliston Council would Seasonably attend that service.
