1764 July 8 (Sunday). The Subject I had undertaken to write upon engaged me in some considerable Reading and Study; So that (having also many interruptions almost Every Day the last week) I delivered an old Sermon a.m. (after Reading Prov. 12 with considerable Exposition). The Sermon was on Heb. 9.27 and chosen on Consideration of the late Death; and Omitting the first p. and adding the Evidences of the Truth. Mrs. Parmenter, and the widow Pierce (whom I visited lately at Mr. Ithamar Bellows) dined here. P.M. read Mat. 21 to v. 22 and preached on Gen. 3.15.
