1756 August 25 (Wednesday). I rose early. My Feet and Ankles weak and lame. I went to the Public Lecture and heard Mr. Smith, who preached on Act. 2.42, a very seasonable, useful Sermon. May God bless it to both Ministers and People. P.M. I rode with Messrs. Stone, Smith and Seccomb to Mr. Martyns. N.B. Mr. Martyn has carryed down his Son Natty, to Marlborough to Dr. Dexter’s, who gives great Encouragement concerning the Sore, that he Shall effect the Cure of it. I returned home in safety. D.G. N.B. Ebenezer got in the last of my Oates and finished his own Haying.
