“With respect to the life to come, the notices of it are clear in Socrates and Pythagoras, in the Chinese and Gentoo moralists also, independent of scripture. Indeed, those of the two last are but the old patriarchal religion or that of tradition, at least of the consensus hominum. For the greatest question that lies against scripture is not whether its generals of hopes are sound and its duties right, but whether its histories were not compiled and suited to the principles. Now, prophecy and the sublime character of the completer of scripture answer this—but more on this subject at another time and occasion.

“In the mean time, to live happily, live within your power, keep money in your pocket, live as in the Lord’s flock and pasture, and the knowledge of his presence and intentions will come of their own accord, and increase to your last day.

“Yours attachedly,
“T. C.”
