JAY TO REV. DR. ROMEYN. 389
Had all uninspired expositors been content with
the simplicity of the gospel, and not been wise above
what is written, the Church would probably have suffered less than it has from worldly wisdom and scholastic subtleties.
With the best wishes for the health and prosperity
of yourself and family, I am, dear sir,
Your friend,
John Jay.
JAY TO REV. DR. ROMEYN.
Bedford, 12th June, 1816.
Rev. Sir:
Your letter of the 1st inst, informing me that I
had been elected one of the vice-presidents of the
American Bible Society, arrived by the last mail.
I rejoice in the institution of that national society,
and assure the Board of Managers that I am very
sensible of the honour they have done me in thus
connecting me with it.
The events and circumstances under which such
societies have been established and multiplied, in my
opinion, indicate an origin which makes it the duty
of all Christians to unite in giving them decided
patronage and zealous support.
I have the honour to be, with respect and esteem,
Rev. sir,
Your obedient servant,
John Jay.
