Myself at church in the morning… Thomas Durrant dined with me on a piece of beef roasted. After dinner I set out for Little Horsted Church, and meeting with Sam Jenner on the road, we walked together.
We had a very fine sermon preached by the Rev Mr Darnford, rector of Little Horsted, from Matthew 5:6: “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” I went to Little Horsted in order to meet my brother and another person whom we had thoughts of putting out our nephew Philip an apprentice to. But he having lately taken a lad, our walk was to no purpose.
After churchtime we walked down to my uncle Hill’s, where we smoked a pipe or two; but I neither ate nor drank. I came home by Master Jenner’s, and Thomas Davy coming almost in at the same instant, we stayed and spent the evening with him and also supped with him. Came home about 11:20, sober.
