LETTER CCCXCIV.
T o 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.
