More hymns composed by John Ryland, Jr. (dated 19 August 1804 and 18 June 1810); letter is undated, but obviously sent to John Rippon.

  My dear Bro.r

I have sent 2 or 3 hymns, tho I know not that they will be worthy anything farther than your own reading; unless perhaps the first might do fr the Jews Collect.n – I preach’d my monthly Lect. on the First Promise last Night, Miss Cuncell and Betsey Buth went round among the Jews & invited them to come to hear, sev.l promis’d, but I know not whether they kept their word.

[Closing of the letter has been cut off.]

Attached are the following hymns:

The Man of Nazareth I sing ...

Omniscient God I wish to live ..  [Ryland adds, “Composed in the Coach going from Bristol to  Birmingham, 18 June 1810 (note on another autograph copy)”

Jesus, the woman’s promis’d Seed ...   (dated by Ryland “August 19: 1804”)]
