I am sorry to state that two hundred Testaments were seized at Ocana,
where they were sealed and despatched to Toledo.  Lopez informed me that
in two hours he could have sold them all, the demand was so great; as it
was, twenty-seven were sold in less than ten minutes.  He is just
departed on another expedition, and I am about to follow, for with God's
leave I will fight it out to the last.

I enclose you a list of all the towns and villages hitherto visited.  I
have nothing more to say for the present, but that you may make what use
you please of this letter.

Such is my life in Spain.

REVD. AND DEAR SIR,--Lord William Hervey was perfectly satisfied with my
conduct in the affair stated on the other side, and so was Count Ofalia,
who expressed his regret that circumstances had compelled her Majesty's
Government to take those steps against the circulation of the Scriptures
with which you are already acquainted.
