This ministerial apprentice decamps when his protector leaves office, returning sometimes when he returns.
Paul was to be satisfied if only he was let do the work of a minister all his days and then was not at the end made a castaway. And yet, writing to the same church, Paul says that his sincerity among them had been such that he could hold up his ministerial life like spotless linen between the eye of his conscience and the sun.
This letter is so long, that it will hardly leave you that quarter of an hour, the day you receive it. So good-night.

Mr. Pelham died last Monday of a fever and mortification, occasioned by a general corruption of his whole mass of blood, which had broke out into sores in his back.
On the other hand, he was, from the beginning to the end of his ministerial career, a parochial clergyman; he does not appear to have been indebted to Methodism for his first serious impressions, and he maintained his position as a moderate Calvinist, though he wisely kept quite clear of the controversy and never came into collision with his friend Wesley on this fruitful subject of dispute.

Consequently, to the minority lawfully belonged the election of the minister, the meeting house, and the taxes for ministerial support.
