London. . . April 7. By letters from Norwich, we are
credibly informed that the Methodist teacher who had bred so
much disturbance there, has been obliged by the magistrates,
either to leave the town directly, or to pay a fine of forty
pounds, and to suffer twelve months imprisonment.
. . . [13 lines] Upon this news arriving at Denbigh, the
inhabitants set the bells a ringing, and the whole town was
enlivened with joy; and further to shew how abominably they
detest and abhor this new doctrine, they dress'd up two of
these creatures in effigy, and after exposing them round the
town, with loud acclamations, drums beating, and colours
flying, they were put in the pillory, and from thence
conducted to a large bonfire made for that purpose . . .
