| Notes for Margaret DIBBLEE | ||||||||||||||
| Extract from letter by Rev. Ebenezer Dibblee, D.D. to his grandfather Margaret Dibblee at Long Reach,New "Brunswick on the occasion of her marriage to John Bedell in 1787 ..Daughter, may you never repent of your choice. We heartily wish you both joy, and as you are lavis of each other's praise, may you continue amidst all the changes and changes of this mortal life equally precious and high in mutual esteem. In every matrimonial contract where mutual affection is wanting, misery and unhappiness ensues. That family is uniformly cursed with the most substantial misery where little or no love subsists between the heads of it. Let mutual happiness be your mutual object. As I hope you are in the Apostle's sense equally yoked, may it be your mutual endeavour to fulfill the same - Be habitually and reciprocally kind , and compassionately conceal each other's foibles and infirmities, cultivate habits of affability, forbearance and good nature,and in the union of persons let there be a union of interest, union in attention to your family interest and concern; so will bear each other's burdens and fulfill the law of Christ. To obtain God's blessing let your morning and evening sacrifice be offered to Him who causeth the morning and evening to rejoyce. In a word, live together as heirs of the grace of life and may the blessings of Almight God be your mutual fortune both in this life and the next. Present our love to your Mama, to all our grandchildren - continue your correspondence, as we wish to se you both.. My prayers and best wishes attend you. I am, your grandfather, Ebenezer Dibblee" | ||||||||||||||
