18/30 An excellent discourse you gave us, good sir, on Sunday: viii.Rom.12 and 13 verses: it is graven upon my memory, but I have made a note of it in my diary. I come to you, cousin, I come. I pray you walk on to the Abbey, good Mr.Dewhurst, where you will be right welcome, and call for any refreshment you may desire--a glass of good sack, and a slice of venison pasty, on which we have just dined--and there is some famous old ale, which I would commend to you, but that I know you care not, any more than myself, for creature comforts. I will join you ere long, for these scenes have little attraction for me. |
