LETTER CCLXXXII.
T o Mr. I―― C――.
Bristol, May 18, 1741.
Dear Brother C――, I Received your letter this morning, and am just setting out for Wiltshire.
The Lord hath been much with us. Yesterday I preached three times. At every sermon, a sweet melting was observed in the congregation. Last night
I gave your sister the sacrament; she is recovering. I afterwards, administered the sacrament at Mr. T――'s, and had a love feast. Jesus was in the midst of us. I know not but I may come towards London next week. I wonder not at your heaviness.—Before every increase of your work, you must expect some trials. Humblings are necessary for your spirit, and mine.
I return my love to all. I must away. Brother H―― rejoices in spirit, and joins with me, who am, Ever yours in Christ, G. W.
