LETTER DIX.

_To the Same._

_Larn, April 15, 1743._

_My dear Friend_,

I Wrote to you from several places; and all my letters have, or will

I trust come to hand. I can yet send you more glad tidings. But words

cannot express what the LORD has done for your unworthy friend, and his

own dear people’s souls. On _Monday_ I preached at a place in the way,

and afterwards at _Neath_, a sea port town, to about three thousand

people: all was quiet, and the power of JESUS was much there. Then I

went to _Swanzey_ seven miles from _Neath_.――On _Tuesday_ I preached,

and the LORD was with me. In the evening I went to _Llanelthy_, eight

miles from _Swanzey_. There I preached twice on _Wednesday_ with great

power to a large congregation; and in the evening near _Aberquilley_,

five miles from thence. On _Thursday_ I preached at _Carmarthen_, one

of the greatest and most polite places in _Wales_; in the morning from

the top of the cross: in the evening from a table near it. It was the

great sessions. The justices desired I would stay till they rose, and

they would come. Accordingly they did, and many thousands more; and

several people of quality. JESUS was much with me, and I hope much

good work was done. Several sent for me to their houses. Dear brother

_H――――_ exhorts in every place. I have just been preaching, and it

would rejoice your heart to see what is doing. I want room and time to

tell you all. In about ten days I hope to be near _Bristol_. In the

mean while, I am, dear friend,

Ever yours,

_G. W._
