Mr Porter preaching at Chailey, Mr Chalice, his curate at Ripe, preached at our church. My servant only at church, I being really very ill. Thomas Durrant sat with me all the forenoon. I dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner with the addition of a plain suet pudding, a piece of a roast goose sent me from James Durrant’s, and cabbage. No service at our church in the afternoon.
Thomas Durrant drank coffee with me. In the evening read 2 of Tillotson’s sermons to Sam Jenner and Thomas Durrant. I being a good deal indisposed, persuaded Sam Jenner to stop all night with me, which he did.
