_To Mr. M――――._
_London, November 26, 1757._
_My very dear Sir_,
I AM very glad you have been so providentially detained at _Thetford_,
and that your bow abode in such full strength. The LORD help you to
give a good farewel stroke to-morrow! My poor feeble labours almost
brought me to the grave this last week; but preaching yesterday
three times on account of the _Prussians_ late success, hath somewhat
recovered me. It was a high day; thousands and thousands attended.
Where the carcase is, there the eagles will gather together. The chapel
is made a _Bethel_ indeed. I am glad you are coming to see. Spiritual
routs are blessed entertainments. I must prepare for my throne. It
is near five in the evening, and to-morrow I am to preach thrice. Mr.
_Jon――――_ said he would write this post. I was glad to hear by Mr.
_D――――_, that the noble pair were growing. That you all may increase
with all the increase of GOD, is the earnest prayer of, my very dear
Sir,
Yours most affectionately in our glorious Head,
_G. W._
