Sam Jenner stayed and assisted my maid in brewing and dined with me on a knuckle of veal and a piece of bacon boiled and green salad. At home all day and but very little to do.
In the evening read part of a work called Bishop Beveridge’s [Private] Thoughts, which I look upon as a very serious good thing and full of sound divinity, neither leaning too much to the side of Arminianism or the contrary to Calvinism. A most remarkable dry time, and the wind today violently high and very cold.
