1769 June 25 (Sunday). Read the last Chapter of Jeremiah. Preached on Isa. 63.9.10-15, and thought to have made Additions to the Application of the Sermon on v. 8, but the strictures on these verses, engrossed me so wholly that I could not compass that Design, and yet preached too long. I suppose above an Hour. But it could not well be divided. P.M. Read 1 Cor. 11 and (with many Alterations etc.) preached on 2 Tim. 1.[torn] to the End of p. 8. And May God be pleased to bless my weak [at]tempts! Mr. Rice dined with us.
