I have lately been reading Mr. Hutchinson's Works. And the more I read the less I tike them. I am fully convinced of one thing in particular, which I least of all expected: he did not understand Hebrew; not critically no, not tolerably. I verily believe T. Walsh See Wesley's Veterans, v. 68. understands it far better at this day than he did to the day of his death. Let us understand the love of God, and it is enough. I am Your affectionate brother. To Samuel Furly LONDON, SNOWSFIELDS, December 4, 1756. As to yourself, principlis obsta: the first look or thought! Play not with the fire no, not a moment. Then it cannot hurt you. Mr. Drake must determine for himself as to conversing with those gentlemen. If he feels any hurt from it, he must abstain; if not, he may converse with them sparingly that is, if there be but a faint, distant prospect of doing them any good. I have no receipts or proposal; so they may be sent in my next. I have answered about an hundred and forty pages of John Taylor See letter of June 18.; but it has cost me above an hundred and twenty. Sammy, never trifle more! I am Yours affectionately. To Dorothy Furly 12 LONDON, December 22, 1756.
