_To Mr. M――――, Isle of Man._
_London, Nov. 19, 1742._
_Rev. and dear Sir_,
I Am concerned to find by your last, dated _November 4th_, that the
letter I sent you from _Scotland_ did not come to hand. But providence
over-ruleth all things; even this shall work for good. I wonder
not, if the LORD has given you more zeal, that you meet with more
opposition. However, I would not have you rash, or over hasty in
leaving the _Isle of Man_. Wait, continue instant in prayer, and you
shall see the salvation of GOD. I have not heard from my family abroad
for some time, and cannot give you any determinate answer about your
going to _Georgia_, because I know not how their affairs stand. GOD
will yet shew you what he would have you to do. Even so LORD JESUS,
Amen and Amen! Our glorious _Emmanuel_ blessed me exceedingly after
we parted from _Scotland_, and blesses me in like manner, now he has
brought me to _England_. Vile, ungrateful as I am, he vouchsafes to
give me much of his presence, and keeps me under the shadow of his
wings. Let his goodness to me, encourage you to hope and trust in him.
Remember, dear Sir, JESUS came to make poor sinners happy, and to give
them victory over their lusts and passions. Plead his promises, be
much in secret prayer, and never give GOD rest, ’till your soul is
filled with all his fulness. That the LORD may hasten that blessed
time, wherein his kingdom shall come with full power into your dear
soul, is the earnest prayer of, Rev. and dear Sir,
Your most affectionate friend, brother and servant,
_G. W._
