Myself and servant at church in the morning; the text in Isaiah 9:6; “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
Sam Jenner dined with me on the remains of yesterday’s dinner. After dinner we, together with Thomas Durrant, walked over to Framfield where we drank tea with my brother and stayed and smoked a pipe or two with him and came home about 6:50. After I came home I went into Joseph Durrant’s, where I smoked a pipe or two and came home about 8:10 very sober, having drunk nothing the whole day stronger than water cider.
