In the morning Henry Dobson, servant to Mr John Madgwick, called on me for a bait, but did not stay. Myself and servant at church in the morning… I dined at Joseph Fuller’s on a very fine large turbot boiled, a coast of lamb roasted, a gooseberry pudding and green salad, lobster sauce, gravy sauce etc…
After dinner Thomas Durrant and myself walked to Little Horsted Church where we had an excellent sermon preached by the Rev Mr Fulthorpe, curate of Isfield, from part of Job 2:10: “What? Shall we receive good at the hand of the Lord, and shall we not receive evil?” After churchtime, I having a little business with my uncle Hill, we walked with him to his house, where we stayed and smoked a pipe and came home about 6:10.
Thomas Durrant drank tea with me, and then we walked up to Joseph Fuller’s, where we stayed and smoked a pipe. Came home about 8:20 and read one of Tillotson’s sermons.
