Universal Redemption Catholic Spirit Christology
I hang out no false colors. Scriptural, Christian, c., are all equivocal words. I mean a magazine purposely wrote to defend Universal Redemption. Other magazines give forty pages for sixpence; this gives eighty for a shilling. See previous letter. My time is short; so I publish as much as I can at once, if haply I may live to finish it. All these things I have maturely weighed. I have said over and over there are weighty reasons why no preacher should ever be a trustee. Sycophants are wide 'of this question. I am Your affectionate friend and brother. To Joseph Benson 21 WITNEY, October 22, 1777. I have no objection to your printing a thousand or two of the account of Mrs. Hutton's death. It may be of use for you to visit Manchester again when opportunity serves. Only do everything in full concurrence with the Assistant. I am, dear Joseph, Yours affectionately. To Mary Bishop NEAR OXFORD, October 22, 1777.
