Myself and servant at church in the forenoon… I dined on a veal pudding, turnips and cabbage. After dinner Thomas Durrant, Robert Hook and myself walked to Hellingly Church where we had a sermon preached by the Rev Mr Herring, curate of Hellingly and vicar of Chiddingly, from I John 5:7: “For there were three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”
After churchtime Master Hook went to Hailsham, and Thomas Durrant and myself came away home immediately. We came home about 6:30. My servant not being at home, I went into Thomas Durrant’s, where he and I and Joseph Fuller smoked a pipe or two and then came home.
