Diary Extract 12 April 9 1760

Wednesday, April 9 I was enabled to go through my duties of a temporal and spiritual nature with some degree of pleasure. In the evening and part of the following day we were favoured with the company of Mr Hartley. He lodged at our house. The conversation which I and my companion in life, who had been exercised with some indisposition and gloominess of mind, had with him, was truly edifying. He prayed affectionately with us. I cannot but admire his abilities, and esteem his acquaintance a great privilege.

O Lord to thee I lift mine eye;
Attend unto my humble cry;
Let thy kind hand some gift bestow,
And make me useful here below.
