LETTER CCLIV.
T o Mrs. B.
On board the Minerva, Feb. 16, 1741.
Dear Mrs. B., WHEN you read that Jesus loved Lazarus, Mary, and their sister Martha, do you not make a particular application to your own family? I think our
Lord has been equally kind to your houshold. Walk as becometh members of the houshold of faith. I hope you have had full satisfaction about your state, and know assuredly that Christ is your Saviour. If not, be not discouraged; go on the way of duty, is the way of safety. By-and-by your soul shall magnify the Lord, and your spirit rejoice in God your Saviour.
This is the hearty desire of, dear Mrs. B――, Your affectionate friend and servant in Christ,
G. W.
