1758 July 2 (Sunday). Read 2 Chron. 14 and Joh. 4 from v. 27 — preached the last Sermon on Eph. 1.7. P.M. repeated on Luk. 12.15, but delivered in part what I did not design, but inadvertently, from p. 16, whereas it should have been from p. 18. I was much troubled at this Oversight — yet I delivered further on as much as was sufficient for a Common Exercise. This frown of Providence in Permitting this I desire may be matter of humbling and quickening to me! N.B. Mrs. Patty Dunlop dined here. N.B. I gave the Church Account of our late proceedings at Sutton and the rather because now I could acquaint them with the unsuccessfullness of the Church Meeting which the Council had advised to, and that now it is to be expected that they will call a Council — which is to be mutual and to sit next October. Acquainted the Church and the Congregation with the Associations proposal of a Fast here, next Wednesday and of our desire of their Concurrence. Took their silence for Consent.
