_To the Reverend Mr. J――――, in Yorkshire._
_London, April 22, 1742._
_My dear Brother_,
I Thank you and your wife for your kind benefaction. Our Saviour, I
believe, will take it kindly at your hands. I rejoice that the work
of our common master is carried on in _Yorkshire_. We see greater
things than ever at _London_. The awakening is quite fresh. I never
was strengthened more. Every day, poor sinners are brought home to
JESUS CHRIST. Our people are filled as with new wine; it seems to be a
_Pentecost_. I have preached six or seven times in _Moorfields_, these
holidays. It would rejoice you to see the people flock from satan’s
booths to hear the gospel of the Son of GOD. The people seem to have
such a spirit of supplication poured out upon them, that I believe
we shall see great things. I am often weak in body, but, as my work
requires, I am proportionably strengthened in the inner man. Was
there ever such a sinner as I am? Was there ever such a Saviour as
my Saviour?
_Low at thy feet, O JESUS, let me lie,
And love and praise to all eternity._
I salute all that love the LORD JESUS in sincerity, and am, dear
brother _J――――_,
Yours most affectionately in JESUS CHRIST,
_G. W._
