Sept: 12. The lord was good and merciful to me and mine this week in our peace health plenty, in many outward mercies, and in watching over, and in preserving of me from temptations and keeping me in some measure from many evils, that my heart is subject unto, the lord good and merciful in giving me health in these crazy times, though exercised with rheums causing me to wheeze when laid in bed, the good god merciful in some measure to me in the labour and duty of the Sabbath, the lord in mercy accept and pardon me for his own name sake.
