KING. oe I page, small gto. £5 5s Concerning Clarke’s appointment to Dublin. ‘* It is well if anything can restore bro. Clark’s health. He seems to be nearly worn out as well as me. If anything can give him a new Constitution it will be a long journey. Therefore when he strangely consented to go to Dublin, I cou’d not say anything for it, or against it. . . . Indeed designing and crafty men have blown up such a flame in Dublin, as none can quench but a man of faith and love. If I shou’d live, I do not propose he shou’d stay there any longer than a year. But who knows what a year may [bring] forth? It may carry both me and you and them into a better world! Therefore let us live today! ”’
