I pray, Brother Atlay, do not serve me so. If you will not serve me yourself, do not hinder others from serving me. Do not fright George Whitfield from it; but encourage him to it, and instruct him as quick as possible. My death is nothing to the purpose. I have now nothing to do with the Dewsbury people: go with them and serve them. But I am still Your affectionate brother.","word_count":80,"source_url":null,"themes":["free-will","means-of-grace","reign-of-god"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:23:00.010039"}]}
