This being Christmas Day myself at church in the morning, the text in part of Hebrews 9:26: “But now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.”
James Marchant and his wife and Joseph Burgess dined with me on a bullock’s tongue boiled, a piece of beef roasted, a raisin suet pudding, turnips and potatoes. They, together with Thomas Durrant and Joseph Fuller Jr, drank tea with me. At home all the evening. A very severe frosty day. James Marchant and his wife went away about 6:20.
