MY DEAR BROTHER, I hope you now find things more according to your desire than when I left London, and that she who is as your own soul is more reconciled than she was to the will of our Lord concerning you. The Brethren also, I presume, now leave you to act as you are persuaded in your own mind. I have had some trials myself lately from those who are in union with them. I seek for peace; but when I speak unto them thereof, they make themselves ready for battle.See letter of Feb. 6. I trust they will do me much good; for I cannot possibly fasten any kindness on them. They seem determined to believe not one word I say. So much the more may I confirm my love toward them. O my brother, this is good and profitable for our souls. May our Lord give us all the mind that was in Him! I am Your affectionate brother.","word_count":170,"source_url":null,"themes":["free-will","christology","justifying-grace"],"created_at":"2026-01-29T18:42:54.964040"}]}
