To taste his love, be all our choice!
I must away to my throne.—Adieu! The Lord be with you and yours! My hearty love to Mr. J——, and all who are so kind as to enquire after, my very dear Mr. K——n,
Yours, &c. in our common Lord,
G. W.
LETTER MCCII.
Bristol, May 28, 1758. Nine in the morning.
My very dear Sir,
I AM quite ashamed, that I should give you so much trouble:—but you are my friend indeed. May the never-failing friend of sinners bless and reward you a thousand fold! I have been just now preaching the unsearchable riches of his grace, to a multitude of souls, in a fine square.—Presently, at eleven o’clock, the blessed talk is to be repeated at Kingswood, and then once more in the evening here. Yesterday I went to Bath. But every thing wearies this shattered bark. To-morrow, God willing, I go for Wales. The chaise must be my carriage. I would part with that, and my other, and then if I could have a good four wheel carriage for thirty or forty pounds, the expence would not be so great. I would not lay out a single farthing but for my blessed Master. Mr. S—— is an honest friendly soul.—I leave it entirely, my very dear Sir, to you and him. The Lord give you to ride daily on in the chariot of his love. I return cordial thanks to your mother and sisters for their concern for unworthy me.—Mrs. G—— and B—— long to see them. I had a good season of christian conversation at Bath, and found Sir C—— H——m really converted unto God.—I doubt not but dear Mr. D——s will enjoy much of his blessed presence.—Be pleased to present my hearty love to him, and all, and accept the same for yourself and family, from, my very dear Sir,
Yours most affectionately in our glorious Head,
