November 8, 1760

1760 November 8 (Saturday).  This Day completes the 36th Year of Gods Patience with this Church; and with Me, Since my Ordination, To which I was this Day too inadvertent, even until Evening — though some Time ago I thought of it, and marked it in my Almanack that I might the better remember it.  But now at Evening I desire to be deeply humbled and take Shame to myself for my great Negligence and unprofitableness — which O that God would in His infinite Mercy Pardon and forgive through the Blood of Jesus Christ!  And O that I might be quickened and Sanctifyed by His good Spirit of Grace, and made useful and Serviceable while I remain — and finally, Save my own Soul and them that hear me!  N.B. Mr. Joseph Bowman here.  Carrys two Deeds of Mr. Lulls (viz. of Mr. Jonathan Parks to Lull) to Cambridge to be recorded.
