June 26, 1760, When I rose this morning I found my self much better in my outward man. At noon I read some very affecting passages in the History of New England. In the evening a lecture was preached by Mr Oulton of Liverpool from 1 Tim iv:8. He delivered many important and glorious truths. After the meeting I had some conversation with a brother who had for some time withdrawn from us but was made sensible of his fault and desirous to return. I was well satisfied with what he said and told him I could embrace him in the arms of Christian love and had no hard thoughts of him.
