To Mr. Date: WORCESTER, July 7, 1777. MY DEAR BROTHER, I advise all that will take my advice to abide where they are called, and not to 'heap to themselves teachers having itching ears.' 2 Tim. iv. 3. So I advise all that were brought up in the Church to continue in the Church. See letter of Oct 1, 1778 It never entered my thoughts to advise them to hear none but Methodists. I am Your affectionate brother.
