On Whitsunday, he sent down his Holy Spirit, like a dove, upon the Apostles, teaching the way, the truth, and the light of the Gospel. Trinity Sunday is observed as a total union of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, in heaven. It is my eager wish, for the great benefit of both parishes, as an encouragement to religion, and the regular practice of it, that a Bible, the Common Prayer Book, the Whole Duty of Man, was in every house. The opulent part of the parishes, I have every reason to believe, have some of these books, Bible, Common Prayer, (perhaps not the book called the Whole Duty of Man), but I earnestly entreat them to buy it. Seven or eight shillings will. It contains the whole duly of a Christian: it is divided and subdivided into several Sundays, and an excellent substitute for sermons; for if religious discourses are not written by orthodox divines educated at either of our Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and well chosen for unlearned people to read, they sometimes urge the ignorant, for want of such superior education, to dive into mysteries which they cannot unfold, and increase the number of dissenters, many of whom presume to be teachers, by law authority, though without divine authority, and add greatly to the number of fanatics, by which means the blind lead the blind, though perhaps without any original intention of mischief. Our blessed Redeemer was no respecter of persons; he came to save the poor as well as the rich, both to be inheritors of the kingdom of heaven; and it is becoming the poor should practise religion, and join in the service on the sacred Sabbath; for which reason, it was my wish a Sunday School might be established in both parishes, which has been done, one of some years, from which great benefit has ensued; the other is in its infancy, but I hope it will flourish, and be as effectual to stop vice as the other; for the beginning of all evil in general proceeds from neglect of early duty on the sacred Sabbath; but the future advantages of this institution must be considered, as well as the present; for after the children have learnt to read, and having no books, their parents being unable to purchase any, what will be the consequence? An oblivion of all their once acquired Christian duty? If some remedy is not prescribed, which I humbly recommend to all my wealthy parishioners to enter into, that the word of God may never be forgotten from infancy to old age, but cherished and nourished till the hour of death, as the most inestimable treasure, meriting the greatest future reward, and will never be forgotten by the almighty Disposer of all human events, when the humane and charitable will appear before him.
