March 29, 1778

1778 March 29 (Sunday).  By reason of the forementioned sorrowful Occurrence and the Interruption it occasioned, I preached a. and p.m. on Heb. 12.15, former part.  Mrs. Thurston (the widow) dined here.  P.M. I mentioned to the Congregation the Requests of the Singers to have a Sermon next Tuesday.  After the Exercises being desired to go to Mrs. Adams, I went, though it was very tedious, as it was a very Cold, Stormy Wind at N.E.  Found her more calm and composed and exercising Sorrow, Faith, Hope: but now again could only Whisper.  Prayed with her, and returned before dark.  N.B. her Sore has not been Sewed up, though Dr. Darling has been there as well as Dr. Hawes.  This Eve Breck and Suse and their Billy Spring, and with them, came Mr. Badcock, Luke Wilder, Elisha Parker, and Samuel Fisher, to attend out Family Exercise, and to Sing, in which they Spent the Evening.
