…Myself and servant at church in the morning. My servant stayed the communion. I dined on a knuckle of veal boiled, a piece of bacon and green salad.

Myself and servant at church in the afternoon; the text Luke 24:49: “But tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.” Sam Jenner drank tea with me, to whom I read one of Tillotson’s sermons.

After tea we took a walk in the park. The sermon we had this afternoon I have heard Mr Porter preach 7 times with very little or any alteration.
