An humble, earnest, and affectionate address to the clerg 17To the same.

My Dear Friend,

I thank you for the favour of yours. In the Two Extracts you have sent, the Writer says twice, He cannot adopt the Dark side of my System . If what I have wrote may be called a System, it has put a full end to all that was Dark , and Partial , in every other System. It makes all the Universe, both of Nature and Grace, to be an Edifice of Love, kept up and governed by Love. For I allow of no other God but Love, who from Eternity to Eternity can have no other Will towards the Creature, but to communicate Good; and that no Creature can have any Misery, from which infinite Goodness can deliver it. Where then is the Dark Side? Must I assert God to be more than infinitely Good?

Dear Soul, Adieu. June 9, 1752.
