Sunday, November 27 1757

My whole family at church in the morning… We dined on a piece of beef boiled, a raisin and a plain suet pudding and turnips. My whole family at church in the afternoon… This afternoon in service time was baptized the natural daughter of Elizabeth Day (and what made me remark it was, it was baptized by the name of Sarah Durrant Day).

In the evening and the day read 2 of Tillotson’s sermons and part of Sherlock upon death. I this day completed reading of Tillotson’s sermons over the second time, and so far as I am a judge I think them to be a complete body of divinity, they being written in a plain familiar style, but far from what may be deemed low.
