_To Mr. S―――― M――――, at London._
_Bristol, April 27, 1741._
_My dear Friend and Brother_,
ON _Tuesday, April 22d_, I left _London_, and preached on _Wednesday_
and _Thursday_ morning at _Newbury_, to large congregations. On
_Friday_ evening I preached at _Bristol_, and have continued to
do so twice every day to great and affected auditories. I received
your kind letter, and thank you for it. I rejoice in the good news
from _New-England_. Last night, I rejoiced much in seeing a soul
wonderfully exult in GOD, just at the borders of death. Great
manifestations of the divine presence have attended my sermons. Praise
the LORD O my soul! I am glad to find Mr. _S――――_ goes on well. Pray
give my love to brother _G――――_. My body is sometimes weak, but my
soul rejoices in GOD my Saviour. I know not, whether I shall come
so soon as proposed to _London_. I find it necessary, through the
increase of awakened souls, to get a society-room built adjoining
to our new tabernacle. I pray GOD to fill it with his glory, and beg
leave to subscribe myself, dear Mr. _M――――_, Your affectionate friend,
brother and servant in CHRIST,
_G. W._
