Reading edition
Berridge, in a letter to Lady Huntingdon, dated March 23, 1770, writes: “No trap so mischievous to the field preacher as wedlock. Matrimony has quite maimed poor Charles” [Wesley], “and might have spoiled John” [Wesley] “and George” [Whitefield], “if a wise Master had not graciously sent them a brace of ferrets.” (“Life and Times of Lady Huntingdon,” vol. i., p. 389.)
