February 12, 1758

1758 February 12 (Sunday).  Omitted public Reading both a. and p.m., it being Still a rigorous Season though the Afternoon was pleasanter than of late has been usual.  Preached a.m. on Rom. 8.28.  P.M. on Ps. 62.5.  Read v. 8 also, and the intermediate verses.  This Sermon was much too hastily thrown together.  May God most Compassionate overlook my Defects!  P.M. I dedicated to God in the Ordinance of Baptism, my dear Daughter Hannah.  I desire humbly to wait on God respecting her that She may be truely Gracious!  My wife was got up.  Brother Forb. and Granny Maynard dined with us.
