Excerpt from A Memoir of John Fernley, Esq., J. P., Late of Clairville, Southport On entering his twenty-first year, his mind was drawn very strongly towards the ministry. He made a beginning in his theological studies with Mr. Wesley's sermon on Original Sin, and forthwith. Determined to read by God's help every doctrinal sermon and treatise in his writings: a pledge redeemed in after life to the very letter; few men having acquired a better acquaintance with John Wesley's theology. Presently he makes an engagement with Mr. Parker, the Unitarian minister, to teach him Latin and promises soon to add Greek to his acquirements, as I really believe it is God's will that I should preach, for I cannot think of any secular concern. It may be noted in passing that Mr. Fernley did not in subsequent life keep up these classical studies he was always a diligent reader, and his reading extended over a wide area, though mainly theological; but his Latin and Greek gradually faded from his memory, and any reference to his early enthusiasm for these tongues was replied to by a very significant smile.
