1754 October 13 (Sunday). The Pulpit etc. are not dry. We make a convenient Station for preaching and Communion Table before the Deacons Seat. Many Shrewsbury people here — Mr. Cushing being gone a Journey. Mrs. Amy Maynard grows worse. Read 1 Sam. 14 to number 23. Preach’d on Mark 16.19. Administered the Lords Supper. P.M. read Rev. 7, and having Spent my Preparations in the forenoon I repeated Sermons on John 11.24. Deacon Miles[1] and his Wife, Mrs. Foster[2] of Holliston and her Daughter Twitchel[3] din’d here. At Eve I visited and pray’d with Mrs. Maynard, and My Wife watch’d with her.
