FIFTEENTH LETTER* OF BISHOP SWEDBERG
TO JOHANROSENADLER .
Well-born Secretary,
Most honoured Brother,
I regret there are such stubborn and unreason
able heads, as are unable to receive in peace the rich blessings
of God, without going to law about them. This also will be
the reward to our good sister Brita for all the trouble she
has taken. I should like to see whether they would have had as
much, if another had taken it in hand. But such is the world’s
recompense. As for myself, I have had so little to do with
such things during the last twenty years, that I know as little
about them as a babe which was born yesterday. My son,
the Assessor, however, knows all about these things, and he
will probably arrange matters so with sister Brita, as to bring
about an agreement.
Please admonish the printer to be a little quicker with my
grammar. If I should come to an end before my grammar,
I am afraid my adversary will find much to criticize. This
might happen even if all were well and correctly printed: for
much depends upon one word and one letter.
Your most dutiful servant,
JESPERUS SWEDBERG .
Brunsbo, July 10, 1722.
[P.S.) Hjärne’s68 essay or answer to my Defence is circulating
down here; but I have not yet seen it. As long as arguments
are taken for what they are worth, it does not worry me much.
