1755 November 19 (Wednesday). I rose early — rode to Southborough and preach’d Mr. Stone’s Lecture at 10 a.m. on Isa. 9.12.13. Din’d there (N.B. his Mother Thatcher[1] there) and he rode with me and preach’d my Lecture at 2 p.m. on Eccl. 8.11. May God bless these Exercises to our, and to his people’s Saving Good!
