Wed. 3.--I waited till nine; but no Mr. Eustick came. I then desired Mr. Shepherd, to go and inquire for him at the house wherein he had lodged; si forte edormisset hoc villi: [if, peradventure he had slept off his wine ;] he met him coming, as he thought, to our inn. But after waiting some time, we inquired again, and learned he had turned aside to another house in the town. I went thither, and asked, “Is Mr. Eustick here?” _ After some pause, one said, “ Yes ;” and showed me into the parlour. When he came down he said, “ O sir, will you be so good as go with me to the Doctor’s?” I answered, “ Sir, I came for that purpose.” “Are you ready, sir?” I answered, “Yes.” “Sir, I am not quite ready. In a little time, sir, in a quarter of an hour, I will wait upon you. I will come to William Chenhall’s.” In about three quarters of an hour he came, and finding there was no remedy, he called for his horse, and put forward toward Dr. Borlase’s house ; but he was in no haste; so that we were an hour and a quarter riding three or four measured miles. As soon as we came into the yard, he asked a servant, “Is the Doctor at home ?”” Upon whose answering, “‘ No, sir, ke is gone to church ;” he presently said, ‘‘ Well, sir, I have executed my commission. I have done, sir; I have no more to say.” About noon, Mr. Shepherd and I reached St. Ives. After a tew hours’ rest, we rode to Gwenuap. Finding the house would not con- tain one fourth of the people, I stove before the door. I was reading my text, when a man came, reging as if just broke out of the tombs ; Jwy, 1745.] REV. J.
