'In the even and the day read 2 of Tillotson's sermons and part of Sherlock upon death. I this day completed reading of Tillotson's sermons over the second time, and so far as I am a judge I think them to be a complete body of divinity, they being wrote in a plain familiar style, but far from what may be deemed low.'
