1760 May 25 (Sunday). Read a.m. on Job 21. Preached a.m. on Prov. 11.30, former part. P.M. omitted reading. Preached on Prov. 11.30, latter part, and gave Solemn Warning to Heads of Familys, Tavern keepers and to Youth with regard to Election Recreations. Propounded Mrs. Chase (the Doctors Wife) and acquainted the Congregation that considering the State of my own Health, and the State of Things with my Relatives (at Boston; N.B. Mr. Artemas Bruce bore a Message at noon from my Brother Samuel requesting it of me that I would Spend next Sabbath with them) I know not whether I should return to them the next Lords Day. Desired therefore that Such of them as were nigh to other parishes would attend there; and such as Could not would meet here and serve God as He Should enable them etc. etc.
