Thursday, 31.—I went to the schools where the Convocation was met: but I did not find
the decency and order which I expected. The gentleman for whom I came to vote was not
elected, yet I did not repent of my coming; I owe much more than this to that generous,
friendly man, who now rests from his labors.
I was much surprised wherever I went at the civility of the people—gentlemen as well as others. There was no pointing, no calling of names, as once; no, nor even laughter.What can this mean? Am I become a servant of men? Or is the scandal of the cross ceased?
