_To Mr. J―――― C――――._
_London, March 25, 1741._
_My very dear Brother_,
HASTEN hither with all speed, and then we shall see what GOD intends
to do for and by us. It is a trying time now in the church.――The LORD
give us a due mixture of the lamb and lion. Some that have been led
astray, begin to recover. The LORD make way for his own truths. My
love to the _Colliers_, and all friends. Many, I suppose, will be shy.
I am become a monster even to several who were wrought upon by my
ministry; but it must needs be that offences should come: otherwise,
how should I learn to cease from man? Adieu; excuse brevity――Hasten,
and speak face to face with
Yours most affectionately in CHRIST JESUS,
_G. W._
