So much for theology:—as for the' affairs
Of this temporal world—the light, drawing-room cares
And gay toils of the toilet, which, God knows, I seek,
From no love of such things, but in humbleness meek,
And to be, as the' Apostle was, “weak with the weak,”
Thou wilt find quite enough (till I'm somewhat less busy)
In the' extracts inclosed, my dear news-loving Lizzy.
