Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thoughts in Prison, and Other Miscellaneous Pieces From the time Mr. Dcdd entered into the fervice of the church, he refided at Weft Ham, and made up the deficiencies of his income by fiiperintending the educa tion of fome young gentlemen who were placed under his care. In 1759 he took his degree of Matter of Arts. In the year 1763 he was appointed Chaplain in Ordi nary to the King, and about the fame time became known to Dr. Squire, bifhop of St. David's, who re ceived him into his patronage, prefented him to the pre bend of Brecon, and recommended him to the Earl of Chelterfield, as a proper perlbn to be entrufted with the tuition of his fuccelior in the title. The next year {aw him chaplain to his majefty. In '1766 he took the de gree of Doctor of Laws at Cambridge. He had fome expeetations of fucceeding to the rectory of Welt Ham but, having been twice difappointed, he refigned his leeturelhips both there and in the city, and quitted the place; a place (fays he to Lord Chelterfield) ever dear and ever regretted by me, the lofs of which, truly af fefting to my mind, (for there I was ufeful, and there I trult I was loved) nothing but your lordfliip's friendlhip and connection could have counterbalanced. From a pafl'age in his Thought: in Fri/072, it may be inferred, that he was compelled to quit this his favourite reh dence; a circuml'tance which he pathetically laments, and probably with great reafon, as the firl't ltep to that change in his lituation which led him infenfibly to his lap: fatal cataltrophe.
