To James Ridall Date: LONDON, December 17, 1787. DEAR JAMES, If you would not murder yourself, take particular care never to preach too loud or too long. Always conclude the service within the hour. Then preaching will not hurt you. See letters of March 25, 1787, and April 18, 1789. The doubt whether you are called to preach or not springs wholly from the temptation of the devil. Give not place to his voice no, not for an hour! Do not reason with him, but look unto Jesus. He will supply all your wants. I am Your affectionate brother.
