« Lay long in bed with pleasure [with my wife], with whom I have now a great deal of content ; and my mind is in other things also mightily more at ease, and I do mind my business better than ever and am more at peace ; and trust in God I shall ever be so, though I cannot yet get my mind off from thinking now and then of Deb. But I do, ever since my promise a while since to my wife, pray to God by myself in my chamber every night, and will endeavour to get my wife to do the like with me ere long. »
