Thus recommending you to God's tender mercy, I desire that you would remember me to God. Sanctification will settle you most in the truth.
Grace be with you, Brother in Christ Jesus,

M Y VERY WORTHY AND DEAR FRIEND,—Grace, mercy, and peace be to you. Though all Galloway should have forgotten me, I would have expected a letter from you ere now; but I will not expound it to be forgetfulness of me.
