Yet heaven, and earth and hell
Proclaim God sitteth on the throne,
And ordereth all things well.
A variety of business prevents my enlarging. I should not have troubled you with such a speedy answer, had you not seemed to desire it, as a token of my love. I think it is cordial and unfeigned. None of you are forgotten by me before the throne. There, my dear friend, let us meet often. Remember it is a throne of grace; we may, therefore, come with boldness. Jesus is our advocate, even Jesus Christ the righteous. I thank you ten thousand times for all respect shewn me for his great name’s sake, and command you (since love will make you wait for orders) to believe me to be, my dear Sir,
Your very affectionate friend, brother, and ready servant in our common but dearest Lord,
G. W.
