Myself md servant at church in the morning… Mr Bannister’s child being to be baptized, and the sponsors not being all came, it could not be baptized before dinner. As T. Durrant and myself were to be sponsors, we dined at Mr Bannister’s on a piece of cold roast beef, some cold roast chickens, tart, custards and a piece of cold bacon in company with Mr T. Martin and his wife, Mr T. Colbran and his wife, Molly Fuller, James Fuller and his wife and Miss Hall (my servant at home dining on the remains of yesterday’s dinner).
Myself and servant at church in the afternoon… After churchtime myself, Thomas Durrant, Miss Hall and Molly Fuller appeared at the font as sponsors for Mr George Bannister’s daughter, which was baptized by the name of Molly (simple enough!). We retired to Mr George Bannister’s, where we drank tea and spent the afternoon. Came home about 9:40, very sober. Gave the nurse 12d; ditto the servant 6d.
