No churching at our church in the morning, Mr Porter preaching at Laughton. In the morning my wife and self walked to Little Horsted church, where we heard a sermon preached by the Rev Mr Chalice, curate of Ripe, the text in John 5:28,29: “…For the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice. And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”
We dined with my uncle Hill in company with my brother Moses and one Mr Godfrey, on some beans and bacon and a shoulder of veal roasted and stuffed, and currant pond butter pudding (our servant at home dining on a beef pudding). Spent the afternoon at my uncle’s, and in the evening Thomas Durrant came for to carry my wife home, and I also rode home on a horse of my uncle’s, and his boy with me to have the horse home again. Came home about 9:10. My wife and I gave the servants 12d.
