_To Mr. R―――― K――――n._
_Deal, September 15, 1769._
_My very dear Friend_,
YOUR letter was quite refreshing. It found me on board. But Mr.
_B――――y_ came, put me under an arrest, and is carrying me away
to _Ramsgate_: I hope to arrest some poor run-away bankrupts for
the Captain of our salvation. You would be glad to be here. How
mysterious and yet how wise are his ways! Fain would I follow the Lamb
whithersoever he goes. Blessed be GOD that all is so well at _London_.
I trust all will be better and better. For CHRIST’s sake, let all
means be used to keep up and increase _Tottenham-Court_ and Tabernacle
societies. Pray be particular about church and state. A shaking season
awaits both. Happy they who have cast anchor within the veil. All send
due respects. Cordial love to your whole self, to all that sent their
love, and to all who are so kind as to enquire after, my very dear
steady friend,
Less than the least of all,
_G. W._
