July 4 1760 In the afternoon the preparation meeting was held at which I attended. Mr Crabtree first gave a few words of exhortation. The case of one who was desirous to unite with us again was considered. He had absented himself for a considerable time but the church being satisfied with his concessions, and the spirit he now manifested was willing to receive him again. Our brethren at Halifax sent a letter which was read desiring their dismission that they might embody themselves together under the pastoral care of Mr Joshua Wood: their dismission was granted: - the meeting continued from about one till seven in the evening. Though not very well either in body or mind it was on the whole an edifying season to me. After I returned home I did not properly improve my time but neglected to offer my evening oblation till I was incapable of doing it in a becoming manner. O Lord pardon my iniquity for it is great.
