James Bradley wrote a sympathy message

“The Emmanuel I knew once told me that telling someone about the Lord Jesus Christ was like one beggar telling another beggar where to find food. He always insisted that we have no righteousness of our own. Emmanuel and Charity also have a daughter named Nana in addition to their three sons.”
