_To Mr. B――――, at Port-Royal._
_On board the Minerva, Feb. 16, 1741._
_Dear Mr. B._,
I Hope you will never forget that day, hour, or moment, wherein GOD
met you at _Savannah_. If you have in some measure, do so no more.
“Awake thou that sleepest, and CHRIST shall give thee light.” Love not
the world, neither the things that are in the world. No man can serve
two masters. Use the world, but let it be as though you used it not.
The fashion of this world will soon, very soon, fade away. Dear Mr.
_B――――_, I am persuaded, will not be offended at this plain dealing.
He knows I love him. GOD knows it also. With much affection, I
subscribe myself
Your friend and servant,
_G. W._
