About this Quote

In this quote, the speaker, Joanna Southcott, is reflecting on a minute in her life where her faith was reinforced. She discusses sending out a letter to the Reverend Dignitary of the Cathedral of Exeter, as she was instructed to do. However, she also exposes that she was informed ahead of time that the Reverend would not react to her letter. This might recommend that the speaker's faith was evaluated, as she followed through with the task in spite of understanding that it may not yield a response. It also highlights the power of faith, as the speaker's belief in the task at hand was strong enough to motivate her to act, even without the pledge of an action.
