Question: What is a sufficient call to a new place?
Answer: 1. An invitation from a serious man, fearing God, who has a house to receive us. 2. A probability of doing more good by going thither than by staying longer where we are.
Minutes of Conversations, 1744
There is a doubt with me too whether you do right in preaching the Gospel to twelve or thirteen persons. I fear it is making the Gospel too cheap, and will not therefore blame any assistant for removing the meeting from any place where the congregation does not usually amount to twenty persons.
To Edward Jackson, 1781
