LETTER MCCCLXXXII.
T o Mr. R―― K――n.
Bristol, December 16, 1767.
My dear Friend, WE have been favoured with golden seasons here. I have been enabled to preach thrice, and to administer the holy sacrament. Thousands went away on Sunday, because they could not come in. The word hath been attended with great power. Grace! grace! What a pity that we cannot stay a week or two longer! But I must away to Bath to preach to-morrow, and the next
Lord's-day. Shall write, God willing, to Mr. S――s by Saturday's post, to tell Rose where to meet me with the chaise. We come in the two days postcoach. Mr. A――s is come hither to see me. I thought to have brought him up with me, but the coach was full. Is it true, that Mr. J――ss hath two careful comforts at once? I wish him much joy. Pray tell my wife, that I intend doing myself the pleasure of dining at Tabernacle-house next
Wednesday. Ere long we shall sit down and eat bread in the kingdom of
heaven. Hallelujah! hallelujah! Come, Lord, come. Hearty love to all.
Continue to pray for, my dear friend, Yours and dear Mr. H――y's, &c. &c.
G. W.
