To Walter Churchey Date: YORK, June 26, 1788. MY DEAR BROTHER, I answered your last. By what means my letter miscarried I cannot tell. See letters of June 14 and July 22 to him. Above half of that paragraph (which has traveled over most of the kingdom) is very true. The other half is a blunder. What I spoke was a citation from Bengelius, who thought, not that the world would end, but that the Millennium would begin about the year 1836. See letter of June 3 to Christopher Hopper. Not that I affirm this myself, nor ever did. I do not determine any of these things: they are too high for me. I only desire to creep on in the vale of humble love. Peace be with you and yours I I am Your affectionate brother.
