_To Mr. J―――― H――――, at London._
_Coggeshall, July 13, 1741._
I Received your letter at _Bury_; but cannot think matters are quite
ripe, or you duly qualified for settling a church. GOD lets me see
more and more, that I must evangelize. I find you are for settling:
do as GOD shall direct, I am easy. I only wish you may find settled
persons to be your assistants. Without this, a church cannot be
rightly ordered. I have no freedom, but in going about to all
denominations. I cannot join with any one, so as to be fixed in any
particular place. Every one hath his proper gift. _Field-preaching_ is
my plan: In this I am carried as on eagles wings. GOD makes way for me
every where. The work of the LORD increases. I am comforted night and
day. O free grace to such an hell-deserving sinner! I pray GOD to give
you a right judgment in all things. I am, dear brother _H――――_,
Yours most affectionately in CHRIST JESUS,
_G. W._
