Excerpt from Thoughts in Prison, and Other Miscellaneous Pieces VI11 great advantage from his zeal for its profperity, and, even to the conclufion of his life, continued to be mate rially benefited by his labours. From the time Mr. Dodd entered into the fervice of the church, he refided at Weft Ham, and made up the deficiencies of his income by ftiperintending the educa tion of fome young gentlemen who were placed under his care. In 1759 he took his degree of Mailer of Arts. In the year 1763 he was appointed Chaplain in Ordi nary to the King, and about the fame time became known to Dr. Squire, bifhop of St. David's, who te ceived him into his patronage, prefented him to the pre bend of Brecon, and recommended him to the Earl of Chelterfield, as a proper perlbn to be entrufted with the tuition of his fuccelfor in the title. The next year faw him chaplain to his majefty. In 1766 he took the de gree of Do�lor of Laws at Cambridge. He had fome expe�tations of fucceeding to the i'e�iory of Weft Ham but, having been twice difappointed, he refigned his le�iurefhips both there and in the city, and quitted the place; a place (fays he to Lord Chefterfield) ever dear and ever regretted by me, the lofs of which, truly af fefting to my mind, (for there I was ufeful, and there I trull I was loved) nothing but your lordfhip's friendlhip and conneetion could have counterbalanced. From a pafl'age in his Though: in Fri/072, it may be inferred, that he was compelled to quit this his favourite reh idence; a circumfiance which he pathetically laments, and probably with great reafon, as the hri'c llep to that change in his fituation which led him infenfibly to his 13& fatal cataftrophe.
