You will have other trials when that well-meaning (though not always well-judging) woman See letters of Nov. 27, 1770, and May 27, 1771. comes to Bath. If she continues to show scraps of my letters, I shall be obliged to give you a copy of the whole. Be humble, zealous, active. I am, my dear Miss Bishop, Your affectionate brother. PS. On Monday I am to set out towards Dublin. A letter directed thither will be sent to me in any part of the kingdom. To Miss Bishop, In Bath. To Joseph Benson 7 BRISTOL, March 9, 1771. My love to Mr. Hallward. I am, dear Joseph, Yours affectionately. To Joseph Benson 8 CHESTER, March 16. 1771. A babe in Christ (of whom I know thousands) has the witness sometimes. A young man (in St. John's sense) has it continually. I believe one that is perfected in love, or filled with the Holy Ghost, may be properly termed a father. This we must press both babes and young men to aspire after yea, to expect. And why not now I wish you would give another reading to the Plain Account of Christian Perfection. I am, dear Joseph, Your affectionate brother.
