Beddome and Ryland

See here for this quotation

As a mentor Beddome "led him forward to the work of the ministry with the fostering hand of a wife and kind parent” (John Rippon, The Gentle Dismission of Saints from Earth to Heaven [London: Dilly, 1792], 37-38). As to their friendship, Beddome called Ryland his “dearest friend,” and the two kept in contact well after Ryland left Bourton-on-the-Water (Newman, Rylandiana, 137-39).
