The Way To See By Faith Is

Lost Time Can Never Be Found Again

All The Heavenly Bodies, The Stars And Planets, Are Regulated With The Utmost Wisdom! And Can We Suppose Less Care To Be Taken In The Order Of The Moral Than In The Natural System?

And We Daily In Our Experiments Electrise Bodies Plus Or Minus, As We Think Proper. [these Terms We May Use Till Your Philosophers Give Us Better.] To Electrise Plus Or Minus, No More Needs To Be Known Than This, That The Parts Of The Tube Or Sphere, That Are Rubb'd, Do, In The Instant Of Friction, Attract The Electrical Fire, And Therefore Take It From The Thin Rubbing; The Same Parts Immediately, As The Friction Upon Them Ceases, Are Disposed To Give The Fire They Have Received, To Any Body That Has Less.

As To The Kindness You Mention, I Wish I Could Have Been Of More Service To You Than I Have Been, But If I Had, The Only Thanks That I Should Desire Are That You Would Always Be Ready To Serve Any Other Person That May Need Your Assistance, And So Let Good Offices Go Around, For Humankind Are All Of A Family. As For My Own Part, When I Am Employed In Serving Others I Do Not Look Upon Myself As Conferring Favors But Paying Debts.

Let Each New Year Find You A Better Person.
