March 4, 1766

1766 March 4 (Tuesday).  My Wife and I go to the private Meeting at Mr. Daniel Forbes’s.  I preached on Rom. 13.13.  At Mr. Forbes’s Request I carryed Tate and Brady’s Version of the Psalms, and he handed it to me in the presence of the people, desiring we might sing that Meeter.  Which therefore I mentioned — and I asked Master Cushing to Set the Tune.  He sat New Colchester and there were many there, to carry the Several Parts.  They also Stayed after the Exercise and Sang.
