To Samuel Bradburn Date: LONDON, February 22, 1777. DEAR SAMMY, If George Brown is likely to be an useful preacher, it is no wonder he should be so tempted. If he will forsake the work, there is a young man at Cork, John Howe, who may take his place; so I have wrote to John Watson. I do not remember, I have had a line from John Hampson since Christmas. It will be a difficult thing to keep Mr. Smyth Wesley met Mr. And Mrs. Smyth in the Isle of Man in June. See Tyerman's Wesley, iii. 241-2 and letters of May 27, 1776 and June 1 1778. from running into extremes. He surely will be prosecuted if he publishes anything which the law can lay hold on. And it is easier to prevent the evil than to redress it.
