30 August 1784 – 5 September 1784

Dr. Coke, Mr. Whatcoat, and Mr. Vasey came down from London, in order to embark for America.

Being now clear in my own mind, I took a step which I had long weighed in my mind, and appointed Mr. Whatcoat and Mr. Vasey to go and serve the desolate sheep in America.

I added to them three more; which, I verily believe, will be much to the glory of God.
