_To W―――― P――――, Esq._
_Tottenham-Court, May 15, 1766._
THOUGH at present in almost a breathless state, by preaching for the
best of Masters last night, yet a weak worm hopes to be strengthened to
give the holy sacrament at seven next _Sunday_ morning, and, if able,
to preach afterwards at ten. If good Mr. _R――――_ and Lady will come
at near seven to the chapel house, they shall be conducted to a proper
place. I wish them a Pentecost, not only on _Whitsunday_, but every
day, every hour, and every moment of their lives. Our privilege, as
christians, is not to be afraid of, but looking towards, and waiting
for the coming of the Son of GOD. He expects that our lamps should be
trimmed, our loins girded, and our lamps burning. There is oil enough
in him, our glorious _Aaron_, to keep them so. It runs to the very
skirts of his garments, even to the least member of his mystical body,
and therefore to the heart and soul of, dear happy pair,
Your most willing servant for JESUS CHRIST’s sake,
_G. W._
