1767 October 25 (Sunday). Mr. Forbes preaches at Northborough for Mr. Moore who engages for Brookfield. I read Jer. 6. Preached on Ps. 86.5 and administered the Lords supper. All the members who have Shewn Disquietment were there. P.M. I omitted reading. Carry’d on the Discourse on 1 Pet. 2.9, but from 2 Tim. 1.9 and using part of the Discourse on Rom. 8.28, page 5 to p. 18. N.B. Mrs. Maynard and my grand Daughter and little grandson, Forbes, dined with us, as these latter also lodge here. At Eve their Parents return hither from Northborough. My son Forbes has (in part) inform’d me of the great Troubles he meets with among some of his people, particularly from Lt. Joseph Stone, and Rufus Putnam. We have reason mutually to Sympathize — the Lord be with us under these bitter Tryals! N.B. Mr. F. Yesterday acquainted me with his F’s Desire that he would preach at their House (fearing he shall never have another Opportunity), but Mr. Forbes wants to return on Tuesday; therefore I appoint it on Monday 2 p.m.
