Joseph Mayett in Quainton - February, 1803

from Autobiography of Joseph Mayett, Feb. 1803, page 23:

[T]he soldiers that attended there [at church] struck my attention more than the serviceā€¦all Serjants and Corporals and musick men and all very Clean I was much delighted to see them and hear the musick this was Congenial with my Carnal nature and a great opening for Satan to draw me away from all thoughts about religion.
