Cool day. Attended divine service as usual. Evening at home.

Read part of Milman’s History of the Jews of which I have now the second volume. Attended at the Church in Chauncy Place and heard Dr. Gray preach both parts of the day. Morning from Colossians 3. 1. “Seek those things which are above where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.” Afternoon from Matthew 7. 1 and 2. “Judge not that ye be not judged. For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again.” Dr. Gray is not very interesting and even if he was my mind is in such a state as to prevent my giving him much deliberate attention.

Read a Sermon in the English Preacher, by Tillotson. Titus 3. 2. “Speak evil of no man.” The best discourse of his which I have read. Thus passed the day rapidly enough. The evening spent at home. Nothing of interest.
