1759 March 18 (Sunday). In the Morning Mr. Job Cushing junior accompany’d Me to Lt. Zechary Smiths, to visit his Daughter Susanna who had sent for me. She was exceeding low, yet had her senses. And, by what She said, Seemed to have strong evidence of a gracious State — but I went through an Examination and gave her Strict and Solemn Charge to do her utmost in self-Search. She had also a sister, Mary, who was very bad, was delirious. I prayed by them and hastened back to Meeting. Preached a. and p.m. on Eph. 1.7. N.B. The School-Master Mr. Ebenezer Sparkhawk there. At Evening, after prayer, I returned. Called at Capt. Allens, who lent me the 2d Vol. of Henry on the Bible. Mr. Cushing being at the widow Smiths, I called a while there. Thus, it being very bad traveling also, I made it late home: Every body being in Bed.
