"Some of us ( I speak from many years' experience) do not receive from our people £5 a year; nor above £50, including the Salary or "Benefice," which has been left by our departed friends often encumbered with weighty obligations. After going through a course of education at the College for about 12 years, which costs annually between £40 and £50, we have to furnish a house and provide the necessary ornaments for the altar; wine, candles, books, &c. at our own charge, being debarred of any advantages from speculations in trade, or from Matrimony, that our thoughts may be wholly consecrated "to the Lord" and to the good of our people."
