LXX. — To the Same.
Dear Brother,London, December 7, 1764.
Be so kind as to show this to T. Lewis and M. Davis: So I may answer theirs and yours together.
What need of a formal petition? Would it not be just as effectual for me to write a letter to the corporation, in the name of all the Bristol Methodists, urging, first, Mr. Witherspoon’s argument against the English theater; secondly, the matter of fact, the actual mischief done thereby; and then gently and respectfully making the application? What think you? Ecquid novisti rectius? 45 Send me word without delay.
S. Sukey was in huge agonies for five days, and then died in the full assurance of faith. Some of her last words (after she had been speechless for some time) were, "Jesus is come! Heaven is here!"
I am like Simonides. The more I think, the less able I am to answer the King’s question: To prove the necessity, expediency, or propriety of an atonement, to an unconvinced sinner.
Indeed you ought to have said something to T. M.’s letter, had it been only what you say now. He is T. M. still. Cerebrum non habet. 46 Mr. Richardson is better and better.
James Wheatley (the jewel!) has given me warning to quit the Tabernacle in spring: So I am preparing to build at Norwich; for no place already built can be procured for love or money.
I think verily there is no need that you and I should be such strangers to each other. Surely we are old enough to be wiser
Come, I will give you a little work. Translate for me, into good English, the Latin verses that occur in the Earnest Appeal: and why not those three Greek ones?
H, kai kuaneh|sin ep’ ofrusi neuse Kroniwn, etc. 47
I have answered poor Mr. Hervey’s last tract, so far as it is personal. My love to Sally. Vivamus! Adieu!
You should send Charles Perronet’s book immediately: The Tax of the Apostolic Chamber.
