April 17. I received a Letter from Mr. C. Minister at H. who visited with sickness, expressed his grief for some former miscarriages; desiring that his head were waters, and his eyes a fountain of tears, to weep for his sins: adding, That whatsoever I was minded to say to him, whether by way of Exhortation, Admonition or Reproof, it should be heartily and lovingly accepted, and be as oil, which should not break his head. O Lord, make ⟨p. 76⟩his Repentance sincere, and sanctify his sickness to his Spiritual advantage.

May 2. This day (after three years want) we administered and received the Sacrament of the Lords Supper; it was the most heavenly heart-breaking day (especially at the time of the Ordinance) that of a long time we enjoyed: Many souls were raised, many hearts melted. Blessed be God.
