_To Madam C――――._
_New Brunswick, April 27, 1740._
_Madam_,
ALL things go on well in _America_――nay, better than I dare ask, or
could think. Our LORD’s kingdom comes with power. It is amazing to
see how GOD is present in our assemblies: I refer you to dear brother
_S――――_ for particulars. My animal spirits are exhausted, but I am
filled within. Nature would sometimes cry out, “Spare thyself;” but
when I am offering JESUS to poor sinners, I cannot forbear exerting
all my powers. Oh that I had a thousand lives! my dear LORD JESUS
should have them all. I long to be out of the body, that I may love
and serve him as I would: but I must suffer before I can reign with
him. That you and I may never deny our LORD, is the earnest prayer of,
Madam,
Your obliged humble servant,
_G. W._
