1777 September 14 (Sunday). I preached another sermon on Jer. 8.22. Winslow and Mindwell Brigham, also Molly Pratt, dined here. P.M. on Consideration of the Death of my dear Classmate, the Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Pemberton of Boston, of Rev. Mr. Johnson of Harvard, and that it is so sickly and dying a time among my Neighbours I repeated my Sermon on Eccl. XII.7. But I found when it was too late to alter it that I had repeated it already. For I Should not have done it but through inadvertence. N.B. Capt. Edmund Brigham and a Number of soldiers with him, going to Bennington, desire prayers and I preached to them. After Meeting attended at the House of mourning.
