And if you knew this other fellow--what's his name--Fondle's history, you would find that he was not a bit more respectable than Twm o'r Nant, and not half so clever.

As for his leaving the Baptists I don't believe a word of it; he was turned out of the connection, and then went about the country saying he left it.

No Baptist connection would ever have a writer of Interludes in it, not Twm o'r Nant himself, unless he left his ales and Interludes and wanton hussies, for the three things are sure to go together.

You say he went over to the Church of Rome; of course he did, if the Church of England were not at hand to receive him, where should he go but to Rome?
No respectable church like the Methodist or the Independent would have received him.

There are only two churches in the world that will take in anybody without asking questions, and will never turn them out however bad they may behave; the one is the Church of Rome, and the other the Church of Canterbury; and if you look into the matter you will find that every rogue, rascal and hanged person since the world began, has belonged to one or other of those communions." In the evening I took a walk with my wife and daughter past the Plas Newydd.
