In the morning immediately after he arose, Sam Jenner went away. No service at our church in the morning, Mr Porter being at Chailey. In the forenoon my old and I wish I could say worthy acquaintance Mr Tucker of Lewes came to see me and dined with me on a bullock’s mint pudding, part of a bullock’s cheek hashed and some boiled tripe. Myself at church in the afternoon, where we had a sermon preached by the Rev Mr Griffiths, Curate of Ripe, from Ecclesiastes 12:15: “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”
During churchtime my foolish and drunken visitant went home. I drank tea at Thomas Durrant’s and then we walked up to Joseph Fuller’s, where we spent the evening till about 8:10. Sam Jenner came in the evening and took part of my bed. Last night we had a pretty deal of snow fell, it being shoe-deep in the morning, and a sharp frost.
