MY DEAR BROTHER, -- It is certain you cannot preach the truth without offending those who preach the contrary. Nevertheless, you must preach it, only in the mildest and [most] inoffensive manner the thing will admit of. And beware that you never return evil for evil or railing for railing, but contrariwise blessing.
You cannot constrain any one to go to church; you can only advise them to it, and encourage them by your example.
My kind love to your wife. -- I am
Your affectionate friend and brother.
