LETTER DCXCV.

_To Mr. H――――._

_Cambuslang, Oct. 9, 1748._

_My dear Mr. H――――_,

HAVE you not suspected, that I have forgotten you? but indeed I have

not. As a testimony of it, though late, accept a line of love, even

love unfeigned. I hope you are well, and that affairs go on at the

Tabernacle as well as can be expected. I trust the shout of a king is

amongst you. Blessed be GOD, he has caused his gospel to triumph in

_Scotland_. I have been humbled and exalted; humbled first, in order to

be exalted afterwards. Thus it is.――The LORD wounds and then heals. At

present I am in the place where the great awakening was about six years

ago. The fruits of it yet remain. To morrow, GOD willing, I take my

leave at _Glasgow_. I believe we shall have a sorrowful parting. As I

expect to stop in _Yorkshire_, I suppose I cannot reach _London_ till

the latter end of this month, if so soon. O for a warm winter! You must

remember me to all. I cannot now descend to particulars. I can only

pray, that you and yours may be filled with all the fulness of GOD, and

subscribe myself,

Yours most affectionately in the glorious JESUS,

_G. W._
