1761 April 22 (Wednesday). General Fast. Preached a.m. on Judg. 1.27, which I made upon this Occasion, which was (as well as for the season) the Designed Expedition towards Messasippi. P.M. the Time for preparation having been so Short, and so much Company, and many Hindrances yesterday, I delivered Sermon on Eccl. 12.13, and the whole with some addition in this Exercise. N.B. At noon the Well Crotch and draught pole at my Well broke and the whole Machine fell down to the Ground.
