Number of communicants: I never took upon me to reckon how many communicants are in the parish, or how many of them usually receive: nor can I tell in particular how many there were who communicated at Easter last past. But the number of communicants, to the best of my remembrance, are never less than fifteen, & seldom exceed thirty.
Catechising of children: I catechize the children in my church, as the Rubric directs, from Easter to Michaelmass: nor do I want children or an Audience. By speaking to the Children I instruct their parents.
