_To Mr. B―――― S――――._
_Lewisham, July 23, 1741._
_Dear Sir_,
THOUGH I have but little time, yet I must redeem a little to answer
your kind letter. GOD is doing great things, both at home and abroad.
The inclosed will in some measure inform you. Every day our LORD
appears for us in the great congregations. Weak as I am in myself, the
LORD is my strength. O, dear Sir, I am a worm and no man; I deserve
to be the outcast of the people, and yet the LORD delights to honour
me. Free, free grace! I long to be above, that I may praise GOD as
I desire. In about two days I hope to embark for _Scotland_. I will
come and visit you when providence permits. In the mean while, I beg
that you will pray that the glorious JESUS would bless all my poor
endeavours to promote his glory! My love to all that love the dear
Emmanuel. In his great name, I subscribe myself
Your affectionate brother and servant,
_G. W._
