July 13, 1764

1764 July 13 (Friday).  A great Rain; most refreshing to the Earth, which began to be very dry again.  But some of my Hay is drench’d, which was mowed yesterday.  How small the Loss to so great a Blessing!  Principally we are to wish and pray for the plentifull out-pouring of the Holy Spirit upon our dry and barren Souls!  Might it please God, of His infinite Mercy to grant this great and rich Blessing!
