Sunday, February 5 1764

Mr Wheeler, the gentleman who came to take the school, went away in the morning. Thomas Durrant breakfasted with me. Myself only at church in the morning… Thomas Durrant dined with me on a breast of veal roasted. Myself and servant a at church in the afternoon; the text in the 1st verse 52nd Psalm: “The goodness of God endureth continually,” from which words we had an excellent sermon.

Joseph Fuller drank tea with me, and to him and Thomas Davy in the evening I read a sermon preached by the Rev Mr Courtail, Rector and Vicar of Burwash, at a visitation of the Rev Thomas D’Oyly, Archdeacon of Lewes. In the morning the banns of marriage for the first time were published between Will Osborne of this parish and Mary Wortson of Buxted.
