Sunday, November 4.--I proposed to the leaders the assisting the Society for the Reformation of Manners with regard to their heavy debt. One of them asked, "Ought we not to pay
our own debt first?" After some consultations, it was agreed to attempt it. The general debt
of the society in London, occasioned chiefly by repairing the Foundry and chapels and by
building at Wapping and Snowsfields, was about nine hundred pounds. This I laid before
the society in the evening and desired them all to set their shoulders to the work, either by
a present contribution or by subscribing what they could pay, on the first of January, February
or March.
