Read four Necessary Cases of Conscience of daily use by Mr. Thomas Shepherd,[1] in a Letter to a Friend of his — with a Discourse of that Friends added — viz. R. H. [blank], which the Lord make Spiritually useful to me! Finish’d the second Volume of Pamela. See some Remarks I would draw up, on this Latter Piece.
