Lord's Day August 10 Rising early this morning I took a walk into the fields to meditate. I read a few pages in the Night Thoughts* with pleasure and I trust profit. I was also much edified by reading Theron and Aspasio Dial xiii**, Aspasio enlarging upon the doctrine of original sin explains and proves it in a striking manner. Mr Crabtree's*** text to day was Psalm xxxiv. 13.
