a Dozen Miles. [Mr | Mr.]MrMr. Occom[pers0030.ocp] comes up. Great
Abraham[pers0043.ocp] comes crying to me, says, "Peter[pers0378.ocp] says, I [git | get]gitget

I am much [perplext | perplexed]perplextperplexed about the affair. fear what the Event will be; but Abraham[pers0043.ocp] behaves him so well in other [Reſpects | respects]Reſpectsrespects, I hope it ^[above] is^is all a [illegible] flam. we ride to the [german flats | German Flatts]german flatsGerman Flatts[place0084.ocp] to [viſit | visit]viſitvisit

Saturday I return home, [Mr | Mr.]MrMr. Occom[pers0030.ocp] stays to preach, if he can get the Indians together.
Lords Day we have a Funeral this morning. Three men wading the River the Night before [laſt | last]laſtlast, one of them is taken with the Cramp, and [drownds | drowns]drowndsdrowns. I attend the funeral. his Wife, Children and friends howl like —

An old man makes a short [speach | speech]speachspeech in Indian. throws a [handfull | handful]handfullhandful of dirt into the Coffin; the young men fill up the grave.
Before this is half done the People scatter, [every one | everyone]every oneeveryone his

[periſh | perish]periſhperish, I [indevourd | endeavoured]indevourdendeavoured to [shew | show]shewshow them, that all of them who had not repented of their Sins were in great

This Practice of Drinking away Sorrow, as far as I can learn, is very
