I was present sometimes at private Fasts, particularly at Major Adams and Colonel Bartons; in both places I saw on the Table, a Paper written, by whom know not; where among other ends of those Fasts, this one End was specified, To desire a Blessing upon the Treaty between the King and the Scots. At Major Adams house Mr. Case Preached and I prayed, but who else exercised, ⟨p. 9⟩I remember not. I confess I did in that Fast pray, That God would rescue the King from Wicked and Malignant Counsels, That God would redeem him from the Iniquity of his Fathers house, That there might be a firm Agreement between him and his Subjects of Scotland, such as might consist with the Interest of Religion, and Terms of the Covenant. Present at this meeting, Mr. Jenkins, Mr. Case, Doctor Drake, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Cauton, Mr. Sterks, Mr. Drake, Major Adams, Mr. Jaquel, my self and many others; but I cannot call one more to mind.
