Curate: I have at present no Curate: I have intitld a young man whose name is Gould to the Cure of this Parish; but he is not yet in orders. I have allowed him thirty pounds yearly, with all the Surplice fees. I intend he shall live in the Parsonage : house.
Divine service at other churches: I never perform Divine service at any Church besides my own; except for the assistance of a neighbour, upon seasonable occasions.
