After Dr. Ritter had also asked my friends in vain, whether I had hinted
to them anything about their article, the Decree of Suspension was sent
to me. Dr. Ritter had, at the same time, issued an order to a portion of
the Silesian curates, to refuse me the administration of all religious
ordinances. They, on their part, had issued the like order to their
bell-ringers and sacristans, so that, owing to the zeal of many of
those individuals, I could visit no church, without running the risk of
causing a disturbance, or being turned out.
