April 256
[1776] I mounted Guard with Capt Crooker
at Harri=
-sons brewery, here is a beautifull
Circular
Fort built wholly at the Expence & Labour
of a Company of Granidiers belonging
to the City for which they receivd the
Genls
thanks publickly-- I had a very
ple=
-asant Guard treated very handsomely
by Mr McPherlin & Love & their Wives
who live in the House where the Officers
Room was, they invited us to Sup &
Breakfast & every way treated us
gen=
-teelly & engaged our Future
acquain=
-tance at least
28 [April 1776] Sunday In
the fore noon I attended pu=
-blick worship in a Congregational
Meeting where they told me I Should
hear good preaching but I was very
much disappointed, as the Parson had
invited a Chaplain of the Army to do his work
for him who performed as much to my
dissatisfaction as ever I Should desire
any man to do--- Being tired
with Such Nonsence as I heard in the
fore noon I thaught to find Something
better by attending upon Service in the
Church of England, but the Satisfaction
that I received from the delivery of an
Excellent Sermon was greatly allayed
