_To the Same._
_Swanzey, April 12, 1743._
_My dear Friend_,
I Hope all is well with you. Great things are doing in _Wales_.――An
effectual door is opened for preaching the everlasting gospel.
Yesterday I preached at _Neath_, (seven miles from this place) from a
balcony, to about three thousand souls in the street. The LORD was with
me of a truth. This morning I preached here to about four thousand with
great power. About one I preached at _Harbrook_, four miles off; and
am now returned to preach here again.――Our Saviour has prepared the
way before him. O free grace! Dear brother _H――――_ has discoursed in
_Welch_ yesterday and to day.
Ever yours,
_G. W._
Postscript. Past seven in the evening. I have just now done preaching.
Swanzey is taken! I never preached with a more convincing power. Many
of the rich and great were present. The congregation larger than in the
morning. Free grace for ever!
