Myself at church in the forenoon… My friend Sam Jenner dined with me on part of a sparerib (made me a present of by Dame Durrant) roasted and some applesauce. After dinner we walked over to Framfield where we stayed and drank tea with my brother and sister. Came home about 6:20.
In the evening I read to my friend a sermon preached at the last visitation held at Lewes, written by Mr Nicholl, Vicar of Westham in this county, and part of three discourses written by James Walder, a Baptist preacher, the last of which I esteem the best performance, it being in my judgment written with a true spirit of piety and in a pretty modest style. And I presume it proper for to be read by any sect whatsoever, there being nothing more in it than what is the duty of all Christians both to practise and believe.
