Mr. Hilliard preach'd in the morning from Philippians, IV. 11. Not that I speak in
respect of want; for I have learned in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
And in the afternoon from Luke XIX. 8. And Zaccheus stood and said, unto the Lord;
Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the Poor; and if I have taken anything
from any man by false accusation, I restore him four fold. They say Mr. H. has had
his Corn stole from him lately, and that he preached this Sermon to perswade the thieves
to return it.
I went after meeting to Williams Chamber, and remained there till almost prayer Time.
