1767 June 30 (Tuesday). I visited old Mr. Morse at Hopkinton again, and dined there. He asked me to pray with him; but his Temper and Language to his Wife were very unseemly and disagreeable — which occasioned my dealing plainly with him. It made us all very sorrowful but his Son (Barachias) tells me with Tears, that his Mother is very provoking to him. I return home by Southborough. Call at Mr. Stones — Mr. Williams the Sadler and Widow Bents. Meet Mr. Joseph Chaddock of Brookfield and send by him to Mr. James Parker at Framingham to preach for me next Sabbath, hoping my Self to be at Ashby. An heavy Rain stopped me at Mr. Haskills and at Dr. Hawes’. Blessed be God who so abundantly favours us!
