No . 6 . Sir , I am much obliged to you for your late letter , which is instructive and satisfactory . I think it incumbent on me to inform you , that I am about to remove , and shall return to Hoxton Square , where I lived formerly , though not to the same house . I hope , God willing , to get thither before the end of next week . When I am settled , I shall take the liberty to ask the favour of you to lend me Stephens ^ fine Gr . Testament . * What I want to see is his Testimonies before the several parts of the N . T . I shall make some remarks upon those in Mill .-f It will be proper for me to see how far Stephens led the way , that I may not be too severe upon Mill , if he has the authority of his predecessors on his side . And I shall be very glad to see you at Hoxton , when you have leisure . My day of being at home there will be Wensday . I am , Your sincere friend , and obliged , humble servant , N . Lardner . Ayliff Street , May 25 , 1750 . For Mr . J . Ward , in Gresham College , Bishopsgate Street .
* Probably his Editio Tertia , fol . Paris , 1550 , which Dr . Harwood describes as ** very magnificent . " Classics , p 126 . 1 * In the Credibility , Vol . 111 ., first published in 1738 , Dr . Lardner had said , " Mill , in his edition of the New Testament , a work of prodigious Jabour and extensive use , and above all my commendations , prefixes to each book of that &acred volume testimonies of ancient Christian writers .

No . 7 . Dear Sir , Hoxton Square , Jan . 9 , 1753 . I entreat your favourable acceptance of another volume ( Vol . IX . Pt . II . ) of the Credibility . I fear there will appear to you many improprieties , if not also mistakes and greater faults . But there is one place particularly , concerning which I beg your opinion . It is at p . 77 and p . / 8 , beginning . I have translated , as if some ascribed that work of Apolinarius to Basil . But I suspect now , that it is only the witty answer or letter which was ascribed by some to Basil , by some to others . If it be not too much trouble , and you can find leisure to look upon the place , I should be obliged to you for a better and more exact and correct version of that place of Sezomen . The sooner I have your answer ( by penny post ) the better . For then I would correct those copies which I send abroad , J and which cannot be kept long before they are sent away . For they will be expected , when they see the book published in any of the papers . I remain , Your sincere friend , and obliged , humble servant , N . Lardner . P . S . If I am mistaken , it is the word maideva-eoot ; which misled me . For what occasion is there for learning to write a letter with one witty line ? But , perhaps , irocideovq may be understood as equivalent to ingenuity . This is the first copie that has been delivered . The volume will not be published before next Monday . Therefore I entreat you not to speak of it . For Dr . J . Ward , at Gresham College , in Bishopsgate Street .
X I here now appears the following note : '' Others understand Sozomen differeutly , after this manner : that some ascribed that saying or answer to Basil . *' fVorks , IV . 386 .
