1760 October 2 (Thursday). The Council sat again at the Meeting House. Mr. Forward, who was in his Vindication and Defence last Evening goes on with the Same to Day. N.B. as Mr. Wilkins’s Affidavit was rejected yesterday, because drawn up by Capt. Dwight, so [many?] brought by Mr. Forward to Day, were, on the same Account. All is Dark and distressing. We move to both Partys to agree. We adjourn to promote it. Capt. Dwight etc. make proposals which are ripened by Degrees — N.B. Sat at Eve at Capt. Dwights — and before we go to bed, though it was past Midnight, finished and Signed by each Party so that we Sung Praise to God (Dr. Watts’s Version of 133 Ps.). Prayed and adjourned to Mr. Forwards tomorrow morning 8 o’Clock.
