1755 December 7 (Sunday). I preach’d at Sutton for Mr. Wellman, and he for me at Westborough. My Text a.m. was Gal. 1, part of 15 and part of 16. P.M. it was Heb. 11.16. A fine Day, as to Weather; might God grant us divine Refreshment and Joy from His Word and Ordinances! I baptiz’d Moses Son of Deacon Chase,[1] and having Consulted Mr. Wellman about it, who requested it, I appointed an Exercise in the Evening at Mr. Jonathan Fullers, where accordingly [I] preach’d to a crowded Assembly from Luke 12.36.37. N.B. After Exercise came in two Soldiers — one of them had Plans of the Forts lately built by our Forces. Fort William and Henry and Fort Edwards. I lodg’d at Mr. Samuel Trasks.
