He had performed the duties of his profession from the time of his initiation into the church in an exemplary manner, not only by paying a proper attention to the customary services, but by the frequent visitation of the sick and the instruction of the poor.

This he had done too to admiration in a particularly extensive parish.

At the time I knew him he had May-fair chapel, of which an unusual portion of the congregation consisted then of persons of rank and fortune.

With most of these he had a personal acquaintance.

This was of great importance to me in the promotion of my views.
