2. A very tedious snowy sleeting, wet cold day. Mrs Harlakenden was buried without one tear, neither was there a tear shed for her at home as I can hear. Roger London died last night, he lived not full 5 days after his wife, he was at our Colne on Saturday last. he left 8 children, a sad family: To the lord comes thus suddenly on men, it should renew our care more especially to wait all our appointed time until our change come; I had a very ill nights rest.
