Plain Text Transcription |
Receipt for £34 paid by Mr Pudner to John Martin. 9 July 1770 On the reverse is a note sent by Martin to George Pritchard, dissenting minister of Colchester, Essex, informing him that he is to set off for Spalding in Lincolnshire on June 5th and hopes to see Pritchard in London before leaving. (1 sheet, 1p.) Note is dated May 9, 1805. John Martin (1740-1820) was born in Spalding, Lincolnshire. He moved to London as a watch finisher and joined the Baptist Church under the influence of John Gill. Martin entered the ministry and served pastorates in Huntingdonshire and Leicestershire before moving to London’s Grafton Street congregation in 1773. Under Martin’s ministry, the congregation increased in size and moved to larger premises in Keppel Street. Martin’s radical political opinions in the aftermath of the French Revolution proved controversial and the London Baptists finally disowned him. Martin was however able to continue in the ministry at Keppel Street until he was incapacitated by a stroke in 1814. |
