Doc. 27.] BISHOP SWEDBERG TO ROSENADLER. 185
Please remember me kindly to sister and to the young
people. I commend you to God, and remain with great respect
Your most dutiful and faithful servant,
J. SWEDBERG.
Brunsbo Aug. 7, 1722.
[P. S.) Her Majesty the Queen has graciously presented
me with 600 dalers in copper for the printing of the Catechism ,
and also 600 dalers in copper for the printing of the Address
to the mountain district of Fahlun. Thus God raises up those
by whom that which is godly may be promoted. But the Bible
is forbidden to be printed. Werner67 avails more, than many
hundred souls.
I have now a very laborious, but, I hope, useful work
in hand, viz. to make a list of those who have explained the
various Bible passages ; as Dorhæus has done, who calls his
work Biblia Numerata. But among the fifteen commentators
that he has cited to each verse, scarcely three have furnished
explanations ; the rest have simply given quotations. The work
does not allow me time for sleep. I have now gone as far as
Micah .

EIGHTEENTH LETTER* OF BISHOP SWEDBERG
TO JOHAN ROSENADLER.
Well-born Councillor of Chancery,
Most honoured Brother,
Thank God, the Grammar is progressing
towards the end ! The printer is now beginning the title,
the censorial permission, and the dedication. According
to the opinion you express in the censorial permission, the
work will be appreciated and sought after. I therefore
beg for a mild judgment. There is another member of the
