John Wesley to Miss Ford, February 4th, 1769

John Wesley is writing to Miss Ford on the occasion of her learning Hebrew. He approves but disagrees with her method of learning in "the less excellent way". Wesley doesn't make clear what this method is. He states that no new interpretation of the Old Testament is to be expected, with a cryptic reference to someone who was trying to interpret it in just such a way at the time.
