DOCUMENT SIGNED, ('G. Exon'), appointing the Rev. John Minifie to a curacy.

Large square folio (335 x 335mm), one page, written out in a single hand and signed by Nic. Geare, Registrar; and signed at top left by Lavington; tipped into a folder. A document signed by George Lavington, Bishop of Exeter, appointing the Rev. John Minifie to the 'Impropriate Curacy of Egloskerry and Chapell of Tremayne' in Cornwall. Lavington was a staunch opponent of the early methodists, and of 'enthusiasm' generally, which like many of his contemporaries he regarded as humbug.
