wrote in defence of my honour.’ Yet I hope that you, by
virtue of your office, will not allow him to go on with his
abuse; in other respects I am quite pleased to see it. As one
knife sharpens another, so wa man sharpeneth the countenance
of his friend. (Proverbs, xxvii, 27). Nam ut es silice et
chalybe ignis, ita ex conflictu altercantium veritas elicitur. (For
as fire is produced by the contact of flint and steel, 80 truth
is produced by the conflict of those that differ). If you should
have anything to say or to emend in the Grammar, I shall
be very much obliged by your mentioning it to me. My dear
wife and I desire to be remembered to sister Brita, your.
self, and your sister. May God preserve you all! This is
the wish of
Your most dutiful
J. Sw.
