“I gave a wholesome pastoral lesson to the new bishop; and, by letters, I have dropped serious though not very pleasing counsel into the minds of two of the right reverend dignitaries. I did not spare the Tory parsons. They crammed me with their heresies; and I dosed them with intellectual physic, prescribed by reason and Scripture, prepared in my shop, and administered by my hands, &c.—S. P. Holkham, August 21, 1816.”
