October 5, 1760

1760 October 5 (Sunday).  I read Job 37 and 2 Cor. 1.  Preached a.m. on Rev. 1.8.  P.M. on Isa. 45.22 to p. 11.  Then recapitulated to p. 17, and from thence used the most of the uses to the End.  N.B. Mr. Martyn and his Wife are gone to Cambridge to see Mrs. Monis, who is sick.  Divers North End People at Meeting here.  Master Richard Martyn dined with us.  Read the Proclamation for Thanksgiving.  Was so full of fear least I should forget That, that I forgot to acquaint the Church of our success at Cold-Spring: and made no Mention of the Death of my Grandson, Eli Forbush junior.  My wife seems Somewhat better.
