MY DEAR BROTHER, I do not know any little piece of news which has given me more satisfaction than this, that my Sister Hall has taken a lodging in Th. Philip's house. I hope to see her and you in about a fortnight, that I may have time to prepare for the Conference. Held at London on July 29. You do well not to indulge your thirst after books, but to confine yourself to a very few. I know no commentator on the Bible equal to Bengal. His Gnomon is a jewel; so is his Ordo Temp His Gnomon 'as a brief and suggestive commentary on the New Testament remains unrivalled.' McClintock and Strong's Cyclopodia. Ordo temporum a principio per periodos conomio, divino, 1753.: the finest system of chronology that ever appeared in the world. Now consider with yourself and set down whatever relates to the Conference. Peace be with both your spirits I I am Your affectionate friend and brother.","word_count":169,"source_url":null,"themes":["assurance","scriptural-authority","experience"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:22:41.218373"}]}
