Note 321 — SECOND VISIT TO AMERICA. (continued 2)

Whitefield's letter on the "Whole Duty of Man" was published in the Daily Advertiser of July 2nd, 1740. It is an immensely long production, and really not worth quoting. He says he had looked over "the index and general titles" of the book, and could not find "the word Regeneration so much as once mentioned." The letter is chiefly theological; but Whitefield would have been better employed in preaching, than in writing this verbose epistle. It did no credit either to his head or heart, and was not inserted in his collected works in 1771.
