October. 24. The Lord was good to me and mine in our outward mercies, the season continued cold, but wonderfully dry, oh that the lord would dew in his grace more, and more on my spirit(.) I find the lord making me more diligent in his work, and longing for his coming yet my heart is in a great measure shut up, and narrowed in seeking to my god(.) oh when shall my spirit be lifted up in the ways of god
