Excerpt from A Letter on the Principles of the Christian Faith You expressed, some days ago, a wish that I would put down in writing the sub stance of some of those conversations which have passed between us on this most im portant subject; and with this request I shall most readily comply. It could only proceed, on your part, from a sincere desire of farther instruction; and though I am deeply conscious of my own inability to write, on such a subject, as I could wish, yet, as I can with truth say, that before I took the pen in my hand, I earnestly im plored the Divine blessing on my feeble efforts, I am not without hopes that they may not prove altogether in vain.
