At his family home in Somerset : April 14th, 1767

I read Prayers this morning again at C. Cary Church - I prayed for poor James Burge this morning, out of my own head, hearing he was just gone of almost in a Consumption. It occasioned a great tremulation in my voice at the time - I went after Prayers and saw him, & he was but just alive - He was a very good sort of young man & much respected - It was the Evil which was stopped & then fell upon his Lungs - Grant O Almighty God, that he may be eternally happy hereafter - I dined, supped and spent the Evening at Parsonage -
