1771 August 30 (Friday). Mr. Mellen and his Wife, in their return to Chauxit, called here. A little before Sunsetting came Mrs. Eunice Rice to see me. We Conversed about her Confession. She consents to some alteration. I consent to propound her in a little Time: but not next Sabbath, because I Shall not be at home. At Parting She asks me to be favourable to her in my Prayers — meaning in Publick, when I come to her Case. I told I Should use what Prudence and Faithfulness I could.
