To his Brother Charles HADDINGTON, May 25, 1764. The frightful stories wrote from London had made all our preachers in the North afraid even to mutter about perfection; and, of course, the people on all sides were grown good Calvinists in that point. 'Tis what I foresaw from the beginning that the devil would strive by T. Maxfield and company to drive perfection out of the kingdom. O let you and I hold fast whereunto we have attained, and let our yea be yea and our nay be nay! I feel the want of some about me that are all faith and love. No man was more profitable to me than George Bell while he was simple of heart. Oh for heat and light united! My love to Sally. Adieu.
