LETTER MCLXXXVI.
To Mr. M——.
London, November 26, 1757.
My very dear Sir,
I AM very glad you have been so providentially detained at Thetford, and that your bow abode in such full strength. The Lord help you to give a good farewel stroke to-morrow! My poor feeble labours almost brought me to the grave this last week; but preaching yesterday three times on account of the Prussians late success, hath somewhat recovered me. It was a high day; thousands and thousands attended. Where the carcase is, there the eagles will gather together. The chapel is made a Bethel indeed. I am glad you are coming to see. Spiritual routs are blessed entertainments. I must prepare for my throne. It is near five in the evening, and to-morrow I am to preach thrice. Mr. Jon—— said he would write this post. I was glad to hear by Mr. D——, that the noble pair were growing. That you all may increase with all the increase of God, is the earnest prayer of, my very dear Sir,
Yours most affectionately in our glorious Head,
G. W.
