Evidence:
'In the day read part of "The Universal Magazine" for December, and in the evening read a pamphlet entitled "Primitive Christianity propounded or an Essay To revive the Ancient Mode or manner of Preaching the Gospel". This is a pamphlet which I imagine to be wrote by a Baptist preacher in favour of preaching without notes. I must in my own private opinion say that I can see no harm consequent on our method of reading, as the author is pleased to call it. ...'
