which , in consequence of my intimate correspondence v ^ ittv . some of the Walloon ministers in Holland , I caii easily have translated into French , as several of my writings already are , ( and especially one which was never
yet published in English , relating to the state of the church in Holland , which if I may guess by the many thousands dispersed through the whole country was remarkably blessed in a very peculiar crisis ) , perhaps God iuav send this sermon into France ,
and it may be introductory to some greater and better attempt : but this last part of the scheme I would choose at present to conceal , the rest communicate as von judge proper , and please te favour me with the result as soon as you can , that I may write to Scotland without delay , and set the machine in motion . In the mean
time Jet us lift up our hearts daily to God for its success and let him do as seems good in his sight . I may in conseauence of this in some future letter lay before yon another scheme
of great importance , as 1 apprehend , for the service of religion in the propagation of the gospel of our blessed Redeemer , which lies much on my heart , to which I think the Providence
of God seems to he opening a way by some remarkable occurrences of extraordinary circumstances . In the mean time let me recommend to yonr reading the Life and Journal of Mr . David
Brainard , if you knovr where to get it at large . Quick ' s Synodicon I have . The Icones I shall be very glad to see when you can conveniently spare them : bu , t I think whatever views
we may secretly have with regard to ttieir publication , it will be proper to ijeservje them in our own breasts till tfre first grand part of our scheme is brought into full execution , which may prepare way for the other . I have
but one thing to add , which is , that wTiere ^ s I hav e hitherto only thought of you as a rnost worth y brother wtipsn I have sincerely joined with <* ther& in the general prayers 1 have been offering for persons of your character , I have now ( touched to the
heart by your excellent letter ) inserted your name in a list of a few select friends , whom 1 esteem especially as tbe exceljpnt pf the earth , and whom I re ^ memb ^* before God in seasons of solemn trUerQession . Let iuc coo *

Letter II . Jiotn Dr . Chandler to Rev * Mr . Toms . London , Dec . 12 , 1745 . Rev . anp I > ear Sir , 1 RECEIVED your ' s of the 16 th past , aud am entirely of your mind that some short accounts of the tyranny and cruelty and enormous exactions of the Church of Rome , on
a sheet of paper to be hung up in houses , would be exceeding useful , in the present conjuncture , and might be of standing benefit . I am determined to attempt something of this nature . JBut as the thing is difficult , because it must be short , and vet solid , i am
not sure that I shall succeed . If I ca r * please myself I will let you know . The five articles you mention shall , if I can , be all brought in . By the persuasion o ^ some friends here , I have published a small twopenny thing , called Great Britain ' s Memorial
against Popery and the Pretender , proviag from the canon law that th « principles of Popery are perfidious and bloodv , and the practice of Papists liath been answerable to their
principles . Some thousands have been bought up and given away here . I wish it were got farther into the country , and bope it might have some tendency to prevent the spread of that wicked and impious superstition .
As to what you propose of a small piece , in opposition to the errors of JPopery , only from Scripture proofs ; 1 think it would be very seasonable . fikit care must be taken rightly to represent Popery , and to produce snoh texts of Scripture as are striking andplato ^ and don ' t need much expJtca-
