Easter Sunday, April 7 1765

Myself and brother at church in the morning; the text in part of the 14th verse 15th chapter 1st Corinthians: “And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.”

I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner with the addition of a knuckle of a shoulder of veal boiled and greens. Myself, brother and servant at church in the afternoon; the text in part of Luke 24:46; “Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day.”

After churchtime I, Mr Bannister and my brother walked down to Sam Washer’s, he owing some money and his landlord having distrained for rent. But my journey answered no other and then to spend 4½d each. We came home about 8:40 very dirty and wet. A very fine day, which is the first fine day we have had for a great while past.
