_To the Rev. Mr. H――――._
_London, July 8, 1748._
_Rev. and dear Brother_,
GLAD am I, yea very glad to hear that you are yet alive and have
grace given you to adhere to JESUS CHRIST and his eternal truths.
I am very much pleased to find that you appear in print, and that
such encouragement is given you to print again. I hope the glorious
_Emmanuel_ smiles upon your ministerial labours, and gives you many
living witnesses, that the truths which you preach are according to
Godliness. Go on, my dear old friend, and prove the strength of JESUS
to be thine. Through his infinite and unmerited goodness I am once
more safe in my native country. _Bermudas_ was the last place where
I have been preaching. I left many souls under concern. Many precious
souls (O free grace!) have received me here in great love, and I have
been enabled twice to preach, to a multitude of poor sinners, the
unsearchable riches of JESUS CHRIST. My bodily health is much impared;
but through divine assistance, I will go on working for JESUS of
_Nazareth_, ’till I can work no more. I could say much of his love, but
have a deal of business before me. Accept this as a token of unfeigned
love and respect from, my very dear Sir,
Your affectionate though unworthy brother and servant for
CHRIST’s sake,
_G. W._
