(Acidic remarks like, "I was born and I am like to die in the tottering communion of the Church of England but I despise her nonsense." are the kind that force even the hardiest dissenter to keep their distance!) Perronet then found work as a chaplain for the famous patroness of the evangelical movement, Countess of Huntingdon, but was soon removed from his post due to his violent attacks on the established church. His father had been associated with Whitefield and the Wesleys, and Perronet himself worked with the Wesleys until they split over the question of administering the Sacraments. Though Perronet was a minister of the established Church of England, his evangelical, or "dissenting" roots grew deep. Edward Perronet (1721-1792) to be a sharp-tongued, difficult personality, who would rather pick a fight over theology than display brotherly love. Yet David, the adulterating, murdering, lying king of Israel wrote a good deal of the Psalms, which we still use today as our guide for worship.
It is interesting that those who express the most eloquent praise are often the people we would deem the least likely to have the ability.
