Sunday, January 23 1763

Sam Jenner went away immediately after he arose. Myself only at church in the morning… A brief was read for rebuilding the chapel of Illington in the parish of Halifax in the West Riding of York, the expense of which amounted to the sum of £1128 and upwards, to which collection I gave 1½d. I dined on a sheep’s heart pudding and turnips.

Myself and servant both at church in the afternoon; the text the same as in the morning, [Proverbs 16:3,4]. After churchtime I walked down to Halland in order to perform a little writing for him, which I did. I stayed and smoked a pipe or two with Mr Coates and came home about 6:20.

Sam Jenner, who had been at Framfield on some business for me, sat with me the evening, to whom I read one of Tillotson’s sermons. Sam Jenner stayed with me all night.
