_To Mr. R―――― K――――n._
_Bristol, May 26, 1758._
_My very dear Mr. K――――n_,
REPEATED acts of kindness and love, call for repeated acknowledgments.
――Accept therefore hearty thanks for your last _Salt-Hill_ favour, and
assure yourself, that neither this nor any former labour of love, will
be forgotten by Him, who takes notice of a cup of cold water given in
the name of a disciple. Through his divine goodness I got safe into
_Gloucestershire_, where I opened the summer campaign last _Sunday_.
Ever since _Tuesday_ evening, I have been preaching here twice daily.
Multitudes fly like doves to the windows. Abiding impressions seem to
be made.――This is the LORD’s doing: to Him be all the glory! On next
_Monday_, GOD willing, I set out for Wales. I know you will follow
me with your prayers. I am sure mine always attend you and yours: I
love such old steady friends. It is CHRIST-like, not to be given to
change.――Blessed be GOD for an unchangeable JESUS!
To feel his power, to hear his voice,
To taste his love, be all our choice!
I must away to my throne.――Adieu! The LORD be with you and yours! My
hearty love to Mr. _J――――_, and all who are so kind as to enquire after,
my very dear Mr. _K――――n_,
Yours, &c. in our common LORD,
_G. W._
