"Saterday August 17, 1745 [OS]. Many are Sick at present and what God Designs for Us in a Way of Righteous Judgment (for our Inequities) I know not. ...

"Thursday September 12, 1745 [OS]. This Day Died Seven which belong'd to the Land Army. It's an awful and Distressing time with Us in this Citty. And when I Call to Mind what God has Done for Us Heretofore, I've been Ready to Say in Words much like Sampsons in Judah 15:18, Lord thou hast givin this Great Deliverence into the Hands of these Thy Servants and now Shall they Die by the pestilence."
