To Lady H——n.
London, Nov. 30, 1749.
Honoured Madam,
I Think it is now a whole week since I had the honour and pleasure of writing to your Ladyship, and as your Ladyship was pleased to desire the prayers of God’s people, I read that part of your letter. Thousands heartily united in singing the following verses for your Ladyship.
Gladly we join to pray for those,
Who rich with worldly honour shine;
Yet dare to own a Saviour’s cause,
And in that hated cause to join:
Yes! we would praise Thee that a few
Love Thee, though rich and noble too.
