MY DEAR BROTHER, I am glad to hear that you are ordered to Exeter: there seems to be a particular providence in this. We have a small Society there, which is but lately formed, and stands in need of every help; so that I doubt not your settling among them will be an advantage to them. See that you be not ashamed of a good Master nor of the least of His servants. I am Your affectionate brother.","word_count":86,"source_url":null,"themes":["free-will","works-mercy","catholic-spirit"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:13:02.320364"}]}
