time afterwards he read the See also:life of See also:David See also:Brainerd, the apostle of the See also:Indians of See also:North See also:America. He resolved, accordingly, to become a See also:Christian missionary. On the 22nd of October, 1803, he was ordained See also:deacon at See also:Ely, and afterwards See also:priest, and served as Simeon's See also:curate at the See also:- CHURCH

church of See also:Holy Trinity, taking See also:charge of the neighbouring See also:parish of Lolworth. He was about to offer his services to the Church Missionary Society, when a disaster in Cornwall deprived him and his unmarried See also:sister of the See also:provision their father had made for them, and rendered it necessary that he should obtain a See also:salary that would support her as well as himself. He accordingly obtained a chaplaincy under the See also:East India See also:Company and See also:left for India on the 5th of See also:July 1805. For some months he was stationed at Aldeen, near See also:Serampur; in October 18o6 he proceeded to See also:Dinapur, where he was soon able to conduct See also:worship among the natives in the See also:vernacular, and established See also:schools. In See also:April 1809 he was transferred to See also:Cawnpore, where he preached in his own See also:compound, in spite of interruptions and threats. He occupied himself in linguistic study, and had already, during his See also:residence at Dinapur, beenengaged in revising the sheets of his See also:Hindostani version of the New Testament. He now translated the whole of the New Testament into See also:Hindi also, and into See also:Persian twice. He translated the See also:Psalms into Persian, the Gospels into Judaeo-Persic, and the See also:Prayer-See also:book into Hindostani, in spite of See also:ill-See also:health and " the See also:pride, pedantry and fury of his See also:chief See also:munshi Sabat." Ordered by the doctors to take a See also:sea voyage, he obtained leave to go to See also:Persia and correct his Persian New Testament, whence he wished to go to See also:Arabia, and there compose an Arabic version. Accordingly, on the 1st of October 181o, having seen his See also:work at Cawnpore crowned on the previous See also:day by the opening of a church, he left for See also:Calcutta, whence he sailed on the 7th of See also:January 1811, for Bombay, which he reached on his thirtieth birthday. From Bombay he set out for See also:Bushire, bearing letters from See also:Sir John See also:Malcolm to men of position there, as also at See also:Shiraz and See also:Isfahan. After an exhausting See also:journey from the See also:coast he reached Shiraz, and was soon plunged into discussion with the disputants of all classes, " Sufi, See also:Mahommedan, See also:Jew, and Jewish-Mahommedan, even Armenian, all anxious to test their See also:powers of See also:argument with the first English priest who had visited them." Having made an unsuccessful journey to See also:Tabriz to See also:present the shah with his See also:translation of the New Testament, he was seized with See also:fever, and after a temporary recovery, had to seek a See also:change of See also:climate. On the 12th of See also:September 1812, he started with two Armenian servants, crossed the Araxes, rode from Tabriz to See also:Erivan, from Erivan to See also:Kars, from Kars to See also:Erzerum,. from Erzerum to Chiflik, urged on from See also:place to place by a thoughtless Tatar See also:guide, and, though the See also:plague was raging at See also:Tokat (near Eski-Shehr in See also:Asia See also:Minor), he was compelled by prostration to stop there. On the 6th of October he died. See also:Macaulay's youthful lines, written See also:early in 1813, testify to the impression made by his career.
His See also:Journals and Letters were published by See also:Samuel See also:Wilberforce in 1837. See also Lives by John See also:Sargent (1819; new ed. 1885), and G. Smith (1892) ; and The Church Quarterly See also:Review (Oct. 1881).
