This 24 hours strong winds from the south^d attended with
rain employd wooding and other jobs as needfull carpenter
fitting the boats
In the evening had family worship read the 32^d chapt of
exidous with comment sung and found god to be Jehovah
sung with melody in our hearts – I find to day that
some of my private property has bing destroyd through distress
of weather by salt water I felt a little greaved but not that
sorrow that works death the grace of God is suffisant all
things must perish but the soul of man our souls
lay not up for yourselves treasures on Earth says our master Christ
