Sir, Permit me to request the honour of your patronage on the occasion of the present vacancy of the vicarage of Horley in Surry [as printed]. Duly sensible of the obligation I have received by my education in Christ's Hospital, I presume to solicit this further instance of your goodness. If I am so happy as to succeed, it shall be my study from gratitude, no less than from a sense of duty, to prove myself.
