vernation till I procured grammars and dictionaries , and learned a little Italian . Lately , a young clergyman of my acquaintance returning from Germany , brought me four huge folios , full of authentic documents of German Baptists ; but all in the old black German letter * and the German of the
taut ceetury . How provoking is this ? A casket of jewels locked up : hungry to death for German materials , and now I have got them , I know no more of them than a calf of a crown piece . « Surely * " exclaimed ] , « the D- —^ 1 hath a suite against mel" *« Softly , "

and neither you nor any man in England shall make me twist my jaws , and goosify my throat , to speak German . I shall brew up the tooth-ache ; Mud who are the BaptUrt * that 1 > should get the toothache for them ? Beside , I am not come to the German Baptist *
yet ) and why should a man meet sorrow half way i When I do arrive at that part , 1 shall not uecd to speak German ; enough , of all conscience , if I can read it . " •* WeU , " subjoined my frteud , I shall come again for
another fortnight , about three months hence , and then perhaps you will honour me by being my pupil . " Thus I goon . And now I am half angry with myself , aye ^ with ownself , dear
own&elf , for losing so much time as to write such a long heap of stuff to you . Go front my presence , Mr . K . ; there ' s witchcraft in you . Wife ' s lave to the lady of the bouse . Ever yours , R . ROBINSON .

I have seen thai you bad ttoe goodness of sending me , by a captain of an Amsterdam trader , a Dissertation concerning the Devil , or Satan , as having no foundation in Scripture . * As I see that you calls [ have cause ] to doubt , that this dissertation is not come to my hand , I send you , on you ?
request instantly by the post , an answer , to inform you that I have not received it ; and because the name of the captain is n ^ t mentioned , all inquiry is impossible . If you will have opportunity of sending me another copy , I shall feel myself rauch obliged to you .
But few Baptist ? of this country dp perform the rite of the Baptism by dipping of inmersion : it is almost by all of them administrated by sprinkling , or rather by a large effusion of water .
The year past , I have received of the Rev . Jobs Rippom , Baptist mi * luster at London , The Baptist Annual Register , first publication ; wherein I find a list of the Particular Baptbt Churches and ministers in England and Wales , for 1790 $ but I have not
found Dover at [ in } this list . Perhaps yotir church is not of the denomination of the Particular Baptists . In the Register mentioned , I find no account of the General Baptists in England , If you , in your answer , can favour me with an v account of the state of them , you will very much oblige wife . Your servaiit ,
G . HESSELINK . You will excuse the faults or mistakes . Though I am acquainted with the English language , yet I do not write it . If I , therefore ;* have occasion to write again Xo you , I will rather answer in Latin . f The Rev . Wtti . Ashdotvne , Baptist Minuter * Dever *
