MY DEAR SISTER, I am glad that the little Society at St. Neots continues in peace and love. See letters of July 29, 1789, and July 27, 1790. I would gladly visit yours and every Society within an hundred miles of London once a year; but I am now constrained to give it up. They multiply too fast. So that there are several of them now which I can see only once in two years. I am much pleased with the account you give of yourself likewise. It seems God has dealt very graciously with you; and undoubtedly He is able and willing to supply all your wants. Gradual sanctification may increase from the time you was justified; but full deliverance from sin, I believe, is always instantaneous at least, I never yet knew an exception. Peace be with your spirits! I am, my dear Sally, Yours very affectionately.","word_count":157,"source_url":null,"themes":["justifying-grace","catholic-spirit","universal-redemption"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:24:48.406899"}]}
