Sunday attended
worship at Dr. Fordyce's meetinghouse, Monkwell-street. He discoursed with
great energy and pathos, abounding with flowers of rhetoric, metaphor, and with
uncommon theatric gesture, equal if not beyond Mr. Whitefield.
In the vestry room
is hanging the original license from Charles II. to Mr. Doolittle for this
present house of worship. Took tea with Dr. Fordyce, at Mr. Kennedy's, and
passed an agreeable hour in conversation.
