_To Mrs. K――――._
_London, Dec. 6, 1749._
_Dear Madam_,
I Thank you heartily for the acceptable favour of your letter, which
came to my hand last night. It was quite welcome, as it bespoke the
language of a heart panting after GOD, and desirous to be conformed to
its great exemplar the blessed and holy JESUS. Go on, dear Madam, in
his strength, who hath loved you and given himself for you. Confess him
before men, and he will confess you before his holy angels in heaven.
I am glad that Lady _H――――_ visits you often. Whenever you meet, may
the glorious _Emmanuel_ cause your hearts to burn within you. What
you propose for the poor cast-out clergyman, will be accepted of and
rewarded by our common LORD, as done to himself. GOD willing, I purpose
waiting upon you next _Saturday_ by eleven o’clock, and then I can
receive your kind benefaction. _Colonel G――――_ being with me when your
letter came, offered to accompany me. Perhaps Mr. _C――――_ will come
too. I shall see him this day, and shall be sure to inform him and his
wife of what you desire. Good Lady _H――――n_ would gladly make one in
addressing the throne of grace. But she is happy in yonder dead place,
and _Dorcas_-like is always employed for the poor. Glorious privilege!
Blessed redemption! JESUS can make us happy any where and every
where. You have a neighbour that dearly loves him. I mean the reverend
Mr. _Z――――_, the king’s _German_ chaplain. I believe, Madam, he
would be glad to wait upon you; he has now three ministers with him,
burning with the love of CHRIST, and going to preach the gospel in the
_East-Indies_. Have you seen a little piece entitled _Sunday Thoughts_?
I think you would like it much. But I forget myself. I wish you the
best of blessings, all the blessings of the everlasting covenant, and
beg leave to subscribe myself, dear Madam,
Your most obliged and ready servant for CHRIST’s sake,
_G. W._
