_To Mr. H―――― H――――._
_Edinburgh, Aug. 13, 1741._
_My very dear Brother_,
I Longed to receive a letter from you. Blessed be GOD, my longing was
satisfied this day. My heart is much united to you, and carried out
for you. I utterly disapprove of some persons separating principles.
I find, Satan now turns himself into an angel of light, and stirs up
GOD’s children to tempt me to come over to some particular party. The
associate Presbytery have been hard upon me; but I find no freedom,
any longer than I continue just as I am, and evangelize to all. I know
not that I differ from you in one thing. Glory be to GOD for what he
has done at _London_! He is doing great things here. I walk in the
continual sunshine of his countenance. Every day, fresh seals are
given of my ministry. This morning GOD opened my voice to speak to
preachers of the gospel. Be pleased to accept of this summary account
of my proceedings. On _Sunday_ morning, I visited and preached to the
orphans here, and in the evening to as many people as the _Sunday_
before. Every day since, excepting _Monday_, I have preached either in
the churches or field twice a day, and yesterday I collected upwards
of ninety-three pounds for the _Georgia_ orphans. People are daily
coming under deep convictions, and fresh invitations are sent me to
preach at divers places round about. On _Sunday_, I purpose to preach
in the country, and also the greatest part of the following week, and
shall return again, GOD willing, about _Friday_ to this city. O my
brother, exhort all to praise the LORD. I have most sweet letters from
many awakened ones. GOD, I believe, will work in the ministers and
young students hearts. Even so LORD JESUS. Amen. Pray fail not writing
to
Ever yours,
_G. W._
