I kept this day as a solemn fast, setting it apart for religious exercise, prostrating myself on the ground with the most serious humiliation, confessing my sins to God, acknowledging His righteous judgments upon me, and praying to Him to have mercy on me through Jesus Christ; and not having tasted the least refreshment for twelve hours, even till the going down of the sun, I then ate a biscuit-cake and a bunch of grapes, and went to bed, finishing the day as I began it.
Entonces comí una galleta y un racimo de uvas y me acosté, terminando el día como lo había comenzado. Hasta ese momento no había celebrado los domingos ya que, al principio, carecía de sentimientos religiosos.
