Octob: 27: This week god was good to me and mine in our peace, plenty, health, friends, estate, food and raiment, in duties, in the Sabbath, standing by me in a gracious manner for the same in preserving me from gross sins, I have many unworthinesses I humbly entreat thee pardon and forgiveness of the same, enable me in my calling faithfully to serve you, my dear little son is now very ill, my god I hope and trust will raise him up to his former health, I hope its nothing but breeding teeth. /
