NOTE.—Page 198.
After this work was sent to press, the writer ascertained that the story, given on the authority of John Wesley, page [198], is not strictly accurate. The following are the facts of the case, in brief:—Though the Marquis of Normanby was probably the means of obtaining for Samuel Wesley the rectory of South Ormsby, the real patrons of the living were certain members of the Massingberd family. It also appears that the house of the patron, which was situated in the parish, was rented, not by the Marquis of Normanby, but by the Earl of Castleton; and that it was the latter nobleman who so resented the affront to his mistress, that Samuel Wesley found it expedient to resign the living. According to the Bishop’s Register at Lincoln, Mr Wesley took possession of the South Ormsby Rectory on the 25th of June 1691.
