Note 594 — Chapter XXV · TWO YEARS OF MARRIED LIFE AT MADELEY. 1782 AND 1783.
Reading edition
Jonathan Crowther, President of the Methodist Conference in 1819, says, in his unpublished autobiography:—
“Mr. Yates, of Madeley, told me that, one cold, snowy, frosty day, when Mr. Fletcher called at his house, as he was sallying out to visit his parishioners, he asked him to take a little punch, which was then upon the table, after dinner. Mr. Fletcher consented, but said, ‘First, let us ask a blessing: it makes it twice as good.’”
