John Newton : Cardiphonia
'27/1/1833 - In the evening read some pages of S. Crisp's "Sermons" - admirable! Read Newton's "Cardiphonia" and in the Acts; an edifying evening, still to bed discouraged, though much enabled to pray during day.'

John Newton : Cardiphonia, or Utterance of the Heart
'I think you do not mean the Treatise of Copplestone that I do, for I see nothing in his Discourses of Necessity and Contingency, of Predestination & Free-will, which are his Subjects,that I do not cordially assent to. He pretends not to see farther into the mill-stone than you & I do. I may read the Cardiophonia of Mr Newton as you recommend it, but the Title offends my Taste & who could guess what Cardiophonia was about? - I have been engaged by the confessions of St Augustine in Milner's History of the Church: the piety is impressive and the Story of his philosophic-Life & Conversation, curious: His "City of God" I expect to find very interesting.'
