sentiments of Mr . Fox , you would not say that I was wanting in affection . I shall not make any fine speeches on this head , though I could say much with a great deal of truth , lest you should already think me inconsistent with . 'my promise ; but shall only say , that as your company was one of the
best entertainments I met with in London , so $ he loss of it hath been a very great inducement with me to leave it . You can somewhat make up that loss , if you'll let me often see your hearHn writing , though I cannnot talk with you as a man talketh with his friend , face to face .
It will not , I presume , be disagreeable to you to hear that I am just on the brink of matrimony . The marriage contract is not yet signed , but I suppose it may be consummated next week . When I have tried PH tell you how I like . 'Tis not safe to pass a judgment before trial .
I heartily sympathise with you on the account of the hard treatment of that dear one you love so tenderly ; however , I hope your sorrows are not so great as to hinder you from rejoicing in your friend ' s welfare . Mr-Baker is chosen at Salters * Hall
Lecture . Jerry Burroughs had but about 18 or 19 votes . This morning , about ten , dear King George came publicly through the city for the Tower , in order to go for Holland . I saw with the usual satisfaction that good and great man . He looked vvfell , and smiled upon his people .
As for the fine things I told you in St . James ' s Park , I have entirely forgotten them . Let me know what they were , and you will find him as good as his promise who is , Dear Friend , Yours sincerely , SAM * . CHANDLER .

From Mr . Chandler . London , July 7 , 1716 . Dear Friend John , 1 LITTLE I dreamt that the first letter was to receive from you , was to begin with a reproof from the
Apocryp ha . You know that can have but little weight with a man that believes and studies his Bible . However , I am content , since it was the best you had , especially when I found you had so good an opinion of it , as to think I could not possibly find fault with it . And it is true , indeed , I cannot find
fault with the doctrine 5 though I think '"my friend wrong in the application of it . ; I think it was not without just ground , that la little resented your writing to Seeker first , whose friendship with you was later than mine , not to say I was the instrument of making you friends . It would fiave
been but a kind part , if you had given me but a few lines , and told me that you did sometimes remember one , that will always remember you , and take pleasure in thinking of you . To hear of your welfare could not be a
greater satisfaction to Mr . pecker , than it would have been to me . I am sorry you should think me inferior to him , in good wishes on your account , for whose welfare I am as truly concerned as for my own . However , as I never thought myself
worthy to be a first-rate friend , so 'twas not without a gf eat deal of pleasure , th&t I find you will allow me a share at least in youir friendship , which 1 sUaH : endeavour to cultivate by all ^ good arts I am master of , and shall place it amongst t % h ; aLppy . cir- . cums tances of my Jjfe , if % cftn contract any intimacy with so valuable a cor resp ondent . \
As for that freedom and sincerity of con versation you recommend , you « ay reit assured / that as nothing is wore agreeable to my principles and f ., »? per uothing w * UJ ? e more carejwiy guarded against than the con-V ' l and ^< l ^ 4 M ^ toow but my real
