At another house, I went to see an afflicted woman, and her
mother who was a widow, they rejoiced at being visited; and I
tho't they appear'd much in the innocency, like favourites of
Heaven.

13th.

At a neighboring Meeting, I thought insensibility, and
forgetfulness of God prevailed; with a worldly spirit to my grief.

17th.

At our week day meeting, I hoped for an increase of living
Faith and life among us; Friends seem to bring out more of the youth
to meetings then heretofore. ---- I visited a number more of the
poor and afflicted, who appeared thankful in being remembred.

24th.

At Pilesgrove Mo.ly Meeting

was a trying time; I seemed almost
ready to give out, the appearance was gloomy, and the floods
ready to swallow me up; I feared also the Lord was about to hide
his face from me: ---- I said, Suffer me not, O Lord, to fall a
prey to mine Adversary: I know my help is in thee. -----
Next day I visited some in deep affliction of body, whom I thought
were in favour with God, a comfortable feeling.

27th.

At Salem Meeting

I had close doctrine doctrine to deliver which
seemed well taken, At their Monthly Meeting next day, my
bow seemed to be renewed in strength; and I had close labour to discharge
both amongst Men friends and the Women, to my own satisfaction, and to
theirs, as far as appear'd. I was led to treat on the pernicious Effects
of a worldly Spirit, and a sumptuous way of living, aiming at fine
Houses, rich furniture, particularly large looking-glasses &c, &c:.
