To Mrs. Williamson Date: SAVANNAH, August 11. 1737. At Mr. Causton's request, I write once more. See letter of July 5. The rules whereby I proceed are these: 'So many as intend to be partakers of the Holy Communion shall signify their names to the curate, at least some time the day before.' This you did not do. 'And if any of these have done any wrong to his neighbors by word or deed, so that the congregation be thereby offended, the curate shall advertise him, that in any wise he presume not to come to the Lord's Table until he hath openly declared himself to have truly repented.' If you offer yourself at the Lord's Table on Sunday, I will advertise you (as I have done more than once) wherein you have done wrong. And when you have openly declared yourself to have truly repented, I will administer to you the mysteries of God.
