_To Mr. G―――― T――――._
_Gloucester, Feb. 5, 1742._
_Reverend and dear Brother_,
ON _Tuesday_ I received yours. I bless GOD for delivering brother
_R――――_ out of the hands of his enemies. I am persuaded he will
deliver your brother _William_ also. By your desertion and temptations,
I believe GOD is preparing you for a fresh work. I believe you would
be better, if you would always evangelize. I shall write to some
friends about Mr. _C――――_’s principles. I thank you for your kind
caution. My mistakes often humble me. Never did JESUS send out a
more weak and worthless wretch. I have not freedom now to continue
writing a journal as usual. I shall proceed, for the future, in a more
compendious way. Since I wrote the inclosed, we have seen a glorious
appearance of the Son of Man. O infinite condescension! The LORD is
with me. That he may be abundantly with you, and bless your labours
more and more, is the hearty prayer of, Reverend and dear Sir,
Your most affectionate and loving, though most unworthy brother
in CHRIST,
_G. W._
