December 10, 1756

1756 December 10 (Friday).  Was at Le Blanche’s at Eve.  His Wife Sick.  N.B. I found in one of his Books that the Ten Commandments were very oddly disposed — viz. the 2d Commandment wholly omitted, and to make up the Number 10, the 10th was divided; the 9th was thou shalt not covet thy Neighbours wife — and the 10th thou shalt not covet thy Neighbours House etc.
