_To Mrs. B._
_On board the Minerva, Feb. 16, 1741._
_Dear Mrs. B._,
WHEN you read that JESUS loved _Lazarus_, _Mary_, and their sister
_Martha_, do you not make a particular application to your own family?
I think our LORD has been equally kind to your houshold. Walk as
becometh members of the houshold of faith. I hope you have had full
satisfaction about your state, and know assuredly that CHRIST is your
Saviour. If not, be not discouraged; go on the way of duty, is the way
of safety. By-and-by your soul shall magnify the LORD, and your spirit
rejoice in GOD your Saviour. This is the hearty desire of, dear Mrs.
_B――――_,
Your affectionate friend and servant in CHRIST,
_G. W._
