_To Mr. C―――― H――――y._
_London, February 4, 1769._
_My dear Sir_,
I HOPE this will find you safe arrived at _Bath_, in your way to
_London_. I thank GOD that matters have turned out no worse at
_Plymouth_. I see more and more every day, that things and persons are
only what an all-wise, almighty JESUS is pleased to make them. Happy,
happy they that have their all in Him, who is indeed our All in All!
This, I believe, is your happy lot. Grace! grace! This may teach us
to look to JESUS in all our concerns and motions. What his will may
be concerning my voyage to _Georgia_, I know not. At present the cloud
doth not move that way. But you may be assured, it never entered my
heart to think of embarking without settling the minutest matter to
mutual satisfaction. But more of this when we meet. LORD, hasten our
glorious meeting in the kingdom of heaven.
There sin and strife and sorrow cease,
And all is calm and joy and peace.
I hope all is well in _Green-street_. Hearty love to all. All here send
greeting. A good time at _Mercer_’s chapel. Grace! grace! I know you
will join in saying _Amen_, with, my dear Sir,
Less than the least of all,
_G. W._
