LETTER DCXCV.
T o Mr. H――.
Cambuslang, Oct. 9, 1748.
My dear Mr. H――, HAVE you not suspected, that I have forgotten you? but indeed I have not. As a testimony of it, though late, accept a line of love, even love unfeigned. I hope you are well, and that affairs go on at the Tabernacle as well as can be expected. I trust the shout of a king is amongst you. Blessed be God, he has caused his gospel to triumph in Scotland. I have been humbled and exalted; humbled first, in order to be exalted afterwards. Thus it is.—The Lord wounds and then heals. At present I am in the place where the great awakening was about six years ago. The fruits of it yet remain. To morrow, God willing, I take my leave at Glasgow. I believe we shall have a sorrowful parting. As I expect to stop in Yorkshire, I suppose I cannot reach
London till the latter end of this month, if so soon. O for a warm winter!
You must remember me to all. I cannot now descend to particulars. I can
only pray, that you and yours may be filled with all the fulness of God, and subscribe myself, Yours most affectionately in the glorious Jesus,
G. W.
