434 LIFE OF ARCHBISHOP SHARP. 



one who may adorn his external character by 

 the virtues of his mind, and by both these 

 secure his interest and reputation with the King 

 and his ministers, and make use of both for the 



service of the Church But whither does 



my zeal for God and his glory carry me ! that 

 L should launch out thus boldly, when my 

 meaning is only to express my desires for the 

 advancement of religion. I hope your Grace 

 will pardon me, I am sure you will ; since you 

 yourself know, by experience, hoio strong the 

 kve of Christ is luhich constraineth us. 



" Your Mr. Hales delays too long giving us 

 the pleasure that we expect from him. The 

 public concerns of the Church do not only in- 

 vite him, but require and demand him. Among 

 the many advantages which we on this side the 

 water hope to reap from his presence, this is a 

 considerable one, and would at this time be 

 very seasonable, viz. that as he understands our 

 language, the German provinces might by his 

 means resound with the English Liturgy, and 

 our natives be brought over by degrees, and be 

 reconciled to what at present seems unusual 

 amd strange to them. Farewell, my Lord. Be 

 pleased to continue your Grace's respects to 

 ** Your Lordship's most humble 



" And most devoted servant, 

 " Daniel Ernestus Jablouski."
