is well, tho you have not heard from him of late. Your chearful Paraphrase of my 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 were enough to revive him. You have Translated it very well, saving your mistake in 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, by which I intended; I truly Live, in Answer to 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 in the 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. If you be so long in Translat∣ing one after the other, as I was in making of them, it will be some years. For I wrote 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 when I was Undergraduate, but my 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 after I was Master of Arts. My Enchiridion Ethicum, with the Translation of the Greek, has been out these two Months at least. I am glad my pains are so well ac∣cepted as you intimate: it is the only reward I am sensible▪of. It is an excellent Text your Friend chose out of Ieremiah, and ve∣ry suitable to his purpose. I am glad you have your Health so well, and that you do so well bestow it. Your associating or not associating in the Circumstances you name, you must your self be judge of according as you find your self in a capacity to do good thereby, and receive no harm. A man must feel his way in such things. I see nothing amiss in that Passage of your Divine Solitude. There's a good lively strain in both your Paraphrases; but the English seems the more easie, and nearer to the Copy. I am much straitned in time, which has made me scribble so fast, and leave off so soon, and have a line or two to write to Mr. D.—to see if he will speak to his and
Your affectionate Friend and Servant, H. More.
