liad the © flcr of going : as Chaplain to th « Duke of Northumberland to Trefa' „ Mr . B . places it before hip leaving Piddletown—whereas I have said that it was whilst he was at Catttrick—that I 'was ther ^ and tha t I saw the letter- — - •* That 1 did see the letter is certain , but it must have been shewn me by Mrs . JL . sometime after the transaction . The fact is that my father died in July 1763 * Mr . L .. removed to Catterick the latter end of that year ; the Earl of N ——~ d was appointed Viceroy of Ireland in September , about which time the offer must have been made . *
I must beg the favour , therefore , that the memoir I sent you a week ago , arid which I hope you have received , may be altered in the following manner , and 1 hepe this letter will arrive in time t 6 prevent your having a great deal of trouble . The former part of the paragraph , which succeeds that where mention i » made of Mr . Lindsey * s Sunday evening must be altered as follows . «« Although Mr . X .. had so far quieted his scruples , as to continue in the Church , he had long firmly resolved never to accept any higher preferment * and had refused repeated offers from others , but especially from the Dtichess of N—«—d , who was exceedingly solicitou * to fulfil the promise made to her dy ing parent , of placing him in affluence . Ac ^ * ordingly when the Duke was appointed Viceroy of Ireland , about the time of Mr . Lr . ' s leaving Piddtetown , she wrote , &c . ' * The narrative , to remain unaltered till
after the words " new and untried , '—then the assertion that I was at Catterick at tthc time , in which my memory must have deceived me , to be erased . - ^ -Tfren proceed thus , «» —Mr . Lindscy ' s reply was full of gratitudefor the offered kindness , but the refusal was firm and decisive" leaving out the next two lines , go on "The Duchess made one effort more , Sec , to the . end of that paragraph . The beginning of the % ext must be . changed and what follows substituted in its room . ** After my Tate venc rable fiiend had resided at Catterick sometime , a rheumatic fever which brought
him apparently to the brink of the grave renewed his scruples about continuing ifi the Church , and as he himself states , 1 c secretly , but firmly resolved to seek an opportunity to relinquish a situation that was now become not very supportable . " * The petition presented to Parliament not long afterwards , for relief in the affair of Subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles , caused some delay in thti execution of this determination till its fate should Be finally decided ; but Mr . L . had anticipated
almost from the first , what would probably be the result , and was making talent and gradual preparation for the event that was to ensue , Sec . Sec . I wish 1 may have expressed myself intelligibly , but I write in great haste , at night , after having been writing almost the whole d ^ y before this vexatious discovery . I remain , dear Six , * Your sincere friend / C CAPPB
