MY DEAR BROTHER, It fell out extremely well that I received yours just as I was writing to York. So I have desired one to inquire when that young gentleman is to enter Cambridge. Probably young Mr. Drake. See Journal, iv. 18-19; and letter of Nov. 20 1756, also Nov. 26, 1762. What I want of you h to be always steady, always consistent with yourself, to follow divinity, and to beware of worldly wisdom, in which many Methodists abound, though they know it not. I am Your affectionate brother.","word_count":98,"source_url":null,"themes":["assurance","experience"],"created_at":"2026-01-29T20:00:04.189408"}]}
