At home all day. Posted my day book. Paid Joseph Fuller 0.2.9 for 11 lbs beef received by him today. We dined on the remains of Tuesday’s dinner with the addition of a plain suet pudding and some Savoy greens. In the afternoon our servant went over to Framfield for some currants. In the evening finished reading of Horneck’s Great Law of Consideration, which I think a very good subject, and I am thoroughly persuaded that the only motive the author had in writing it was the salvation of men’s souls. But in my own private opinion it is not written so well as many pieces of divinity which I have read, there being too great a redundancy of words to express one and the same thing.
A very sharp frost today, and a considerable quantity of snow fell. Our servant sat up with Mrs Porter.
