1770 September 3 (Monday). I visited Mr. Biglow in his Sickness: find him to his Bed: and to my Surprize, his Wife with him, She having for some time retir’d from him to Upton. My Time was chiefly taken up in hearing this unhappy Couple contest and complain of each other. May the Lord pity, awaken and pardon them. And O that they might be reconciled! I prayed with them (on my own Motion) and may my poor Endeavours be blessed to them! Joseph has borrowed a Net and Set it in the Beeton Field. He incloses 18. P.M. Mr. Hutchinson made us a Visit, and Spent the Afternoon here. Shews me the Papers which have passed between him and his ‘grieved Brethren and Neighbours in Grafton. He also relates somewhat of the Character and Conduct of Mr. Ely, settled at Summers among the Separates.
