I have been compelled, as you are aware, by illness, to defer this Visitation to a later season than usual; and I am afraid this may have been inconvenient to some of you, and still more perhaps to some of the Churchwardens, who are summoned along with you to give account of the condition of their parishes.

As in a time of danger, when the enemy is drawing near, every officer will long to be at his post, and will be doubly distre...
