For those wishing to know: around 1804 Lord Teignmouth, president of the 
newly-formed British and Foreign Bible Society wrote to the clergy of the 
Church of England, inviting them to join.  This occasioned a public rebuke 
from Rev. Thomas Sikes, condemning any society that "tolerated" dissenters 
(those not of the Church of England).  This is a very good-humoured reply 
to Sikes' pamphlet, which is jolly but takes apart the Sikes pamphlet and 
shows why charity is required, not bigotism.  Owen was vicar of Fulham - 
hence why I got the pamphlet for transcription (I research the Kensington 
area).

All the best,
David,
England at night, but it's still warm
