Sunday, May 23 1762

No service at our church in the morning, Mr Porter preaching at Mayfield. Myself and both servants walked to Little Horsted Church where we heard a sermon preached by the Rev Mr Philips, curate of that parish and Maresfield, from Isaiah 32:17: “and the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.”

I dined on part of a cold roast breast of veal, green salad and the remains of yesterday’s dinner. Myself and both servants at church in the afternoon… After churchtime Sam Jenner and the gardener at Halland and Mr Coates’s servant drank tea with me. In the evening went to bring Sam Jenner going on his road home. After I came back read one of Tillotson’s sermons.
