My Dear Alleck,
Above thirty years ago there was a very remarkable revival of religion in Holland. But the good states suppressed it at one stroke, by passing a public edict that no three persons should meet together on a religious account, under a severe penalty. In the present revival it has pleased God to go out of his usual way, by spreading his work, not ‘from the least to the greatest’, but rather from the greatest to the least. The person to whose house I am invited in Utrecht is the head burgomaster of the city. And those that desire to see me at Haerlem and Amsterdam are some of the chief merchants there. So I hope the spending a few weeks among them may answer a good intention.
You have no business to take thought for the morrow about sickness, or health, or anything else. It is your part to make the best of today. What if you took a journey with Mr. [John] Abraham? It would be good both for your soul and body.
Dr. [Thomas] Coke will speedily accept of your kind invitation. He quits Dublin as soon as our little Conference is over.
Peace be with all your spirits! I am, dear Alleck,
Yours most affectionately,

Dear Alleck,
In several respects Mr. [John] Abraham has taken advice, and is considerably changed for the better. Mr. [Edward] Smyth very earnestly advises that I would not insist upon his returning home. Certainly I shall not take such a step hastily. That must be the last expedient of all. And never to be taken, unless we had absolutely lost all hopes of doing him good. This is by no means the case yet. I am still in hopes he will be an useful man.
You must take care always to keep your body open with one gentle purgative or another. And use all the exercise you can. Every fair day you should ride. Very probably when you find peace with God, your bodily disease will be healed. And who knows how soon? I am, dear Alleck,
Yours affectionately,

Dear Alleck,
If it please God to prosper us, Dr. [Thomas] Coke and I shall be at Dublin in ten days. I do not think of staying there above three weeks. Probably Dr. Coke will go through the kingdom. Our Dublin Conference is to begin on Tuesday, May 6th. All the preachers that conveniently can, may be present.
I received from David Harvey, Esq. and Company fifteen guineas, being the amount of an order from Thomas Bateson, Esq. of Londonderry.
Mr. Hadfield doubtless did deliver up the lease; but to whom the lease and assignment were delivered, I know not. In default of these, a bond might be executed when I am [at] Dublin that would secure the purchaser.
I like your plan well. Only I doubt whether you should not have more windows on each side, and all sashes opening downward. And I pray, let there be no tub-pulpit.
I am glad to hear so good an account of John Cricket, and will order Mr. [John] Atlay to pay the ten pounds.
I did not think, Dr. Goodman had been so clear with regard to Christian perfection. My eldest brother [Samuel] used to say that was ‘the best book, of its kind, in the English tongue’.
Enjoy your present health, and expect the continuance of it. And is not this a token of better things at hand? Peace be with all your spirits! I am, dear Alleck,
Yours most affectionately,
