January 12, 1756

1756 January 12 (Monday).  A bright Day, but I am confined yet, nor is my Leg much better if any thing at all.  This bright Day is therefore turned into Darkness to me.  Such is the Sovereign Will of God!  To which I humbly beg Grace to submitt.  P.M. Mr. Williams to See me.  We were out of Small Wood: and my Fire So low I fear I took Cold, for I was very aguish and that was followed with much Pain, feverishness etc. in the Evening and when I got to bed.  Brother Forb. came to see me in the Eve, and it was very comforting in my Trouble.  Before I went to sleep I had sad fears about my present Condition and what this Lameness would end in; but I endeavoured to Committ my Self to the Glorious and Sovereign God!
