_A._ If a preacher marries hand-over head, he must provide for himself. As to the rest, we cannot but observe many inconveniencies have arisen, from the present method of providing for the wives of the preachers. Those who are most proper for several places, cannot be sent thither because they are married. And if they are sent, the people look upon them with an evil eye, because they are burdened by their families. In order to remedy these inconveniencies, let it be considered, 1. What each circuit can contribute: 2. How many wives are to be provided for: (their children are provided for where they are.) 3. By what circuits? By this means whether the preachers in any particular circuit are married or single, it makes no difference: so that any preacher may be sent to any circuit without any difficulty. _Q._ 63. How many circuits are there now? _A._ Four and thirty in _England_, ten in _Ireland_, three in _Wales_, two in _Scotland_, and three in _America_. _Q._ 64. Are our preaching-houses safe? _A._ Not all: for some of them are not settled on trustees. Several of the trustees for others are dead. _Q._ 65. What then is it to be done? _A._ 1. Let the surviving trustees choose others without delay. 2. Let those who have debts on any of the houses, give a bond to settle them, as soon as their debt is paid. _Q._ 66. In what form may an house be settled? _A._ In the following: “This indenture made between _B. Heap_, of _Manchester_, in the county of on the one part, and _Thomas Philips_, hatter, &c. on the other part, _witnesseth_, that in consideration of five shillings, lawful money of _Great-Britain_, by the said _T.
