…In the evening, there being a public vestry held at John Jones’s on parish affairs, about 6:20 I went to it. Our company which constituted the same was Mr Thomas Carman, Joseph Durrant, Edward Foord, John Nutley and myself. There being so small a number of people, we did no business of any consequence. Came home about 8:20, and, I am sure, very sober, for I hardly drank two spoonfuls of anything.
Dame Akehurst, being to brew for me tomorrow, took part of my servant’s bed.
