Myself and Mr Dodson at church in the morning; the text in I Peter 1:18,19: “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish.”
I dined on a hot beef pie. Paid John Watford by a book debt and cash 11.18.0 in full for his bill on the parish account, and nothing between him and myself… In the evening walked down to Whyly, and from thence Mr John French and myself walked up to Mr John Vine’s in order to settle the account between Mrs French and Mr John Vine. But it appearing a very intricate affair, we were obliged to postpone it till further consideration. Joseph Fuller, Sam Jenner and Thomas Durrant sat with me some time.
