[ſince | Since]ſinceSince my [laſt | last]laſtlast to you at Bideford[place0011.ocp] we have had
the pleasure of receiving two Letters from you, one from Barnstaple[place0007.ocp], the other from Crediton[place0053.ocp], both which gave us pleasing accounts of
your [ſucceſs | success]ſucceſssuccess in the important Cause, what you collected at Exeter[place0071.ocp] and Topsham[place0233.ocp] I think is extraordinary. I am glad to hear
[ſome | some]ſomesome of the Clergy undertake for you, which no doubt is furtherance to the
Affair, I find you have left the Collection in [ſome | some]ſomesome places to the management of them and other Ministers by which you will [ſee | see]ſeesee whether that will answer your purpose, I am ready to think it will not
and that if you was to make personal application and preach to the People, where
they receive one Pound, you would two Pounds, but that I leave. I observe your
immediate going to London[place0128.ocp] on your return to
Exon[place0072.ocp] is not absolutely [fix'd | fixed]fix'dfixed but that a Letter you expect from your Friends in
London[place0128.ocp] is to determine it. If it is for the
