That could very well be true but if my memory serves my correctly Filthy-14 lasted well into the 30,000's or beyond perhaps.
Take what Sweeney says with a grain of salt. He's part of the "just-as-good-as" crowd.
In heavenly love abiding, no change my heart shall fear;
and safe is such confiding, for nothing changes here:
the storm may roar without me, my heart may low be laid;
but God is round about me, and can I be dismayed?
