1769 May 7 (Sunday). Read Jer. ch. 48 from v. 17. Preached on Jer. 46.27.28. Mr. Rice dined here. P.M. Read 1 Cor. 5. By Reason of the Several Exercises I attended upon in the preceeding Week, and various Occurrences together with my particular Circumstances I could not prepare for the afternoon (This I acquainted the Congregation with) And I had designed to have changed with Mr. Sumner, but was obliged to Send him word to the Contrary, being under Necessity to Speak with the Church concerning the Association Fast and take their Vote for it (which I did after the usual Exercises). I delivered sermon on Joh. 14.6, last Clause.
