_To Mr. B――――._
_Greenwich, July 24, 1741._
_My very dear B――――_,
TO-MORROW, GOD willing, I embark for _Scotland_, and hope to redeem
time abroad to answer my dear lambs letters: They rejoiced me
exceedingly. What I have done with yours, the inclosed will shew. Pray
be particular in your accounts. Much good has been done by those sent
already. You cannot tell how many hearty prayers are put up for you
all, daily. May they enter into the ears of the LORD of _Sabaoth_!
The work is beginning afresh in _England_. The Holy Ghost descends in
a glorious manner, amidst the congregation. Weak, unworthy as I am,
JESUS CHRIST works in and by me. O sovereign free grace! I have sent
the letter to Mrs. _D――――_. I have lately seen her. Her conversation
is as weighty as her letters. You will receive more from her, I hope,
before it be long. I believe you are where GOD would have you to be.
I despair not of seeing your mouth opened remarkably for GOD. O that
the dear JESUS may bless you, and the whole houshold! I should rejoice
to see you, but GOD, I believe, will detain me here the Winter.
Mr. _P――――_’s brother is to pay for the use of the Orphan-house
seventy-five pounds. Shortly I hope to send you fresh supplies. In the
mean while I assure you all, that you are constantly upon my heart.
My head pains me; good night. The LORD be with you all. Expect to hear
again very speedily from, dear Brother _B――――_,
Yours most affectionately in CHRIST JESUS,
_G. W._
