entitled "Not Paul but Jesus" written by an able fellow
of whom it is whispered you know something more than
the generality of readers — I never before— saw half so far
into the nature and value of internal evidence, and can
not conceal my fears that should such a course of criticism
be followed ad extremum, more negations might
be established than Mr Gamaliel Smith professes to have
in sight — I have however gone through— the book only once.
A second reading which is not yet completed may
lead me farther into the author's views.
Will you permit
me my dear Sir to communicate apprehensions respect
a most valuable man whom you know — Mr Buckham
— He seems from the accounts —I get to be serio
unwell - and I fear that the cause is excessive exertion
— This must not be suffered to pass without
notice & — Rapidly as the assertors of truth in opposition
to wickedness in high places are increasing in strength
and in number — Such a one as he can not
be spared.
I hope some frend will be able to influence him so far
as to enstail his undetakings, until they fall under
the compas of reasonable strength — How you have
accomplished so much or the half so much as you have brought
out must ever be a wonder! but alas not every good
man has a mind of steel in a body of steel.
