March 9, 1759

1759 March 9 (Friday).  Mrs. Bigelow here — and I talked with her, with closeness and plainness; she acknowledges She has been over taken with Drink Since she was here before — and asks Forgiveness.  I told her I was ready to forgive — but she must be sensible how aggravated her sin was become — that She must mainly ask forgiveness of God and must reform.  That it was So much known in the Neighbourhood that there must be a publick Confession.  I also told her I would not have her to come to the Communion next Sabbath.  P.M. Mr. Bigolow himself came — not knowing that his Wife had been there.
