LETTER MCCLV.
To Mr. R—— K——n.
Newcastle, October 29, 1761.
My dear steady Friend,
HITHERTO the Lord hath helped me. Surely his mercy endureth for ever. I bear riding sixty miles a day in a post-chaise quite well. Blessed be his name, friends both here and at Leeds are prudent, and do not press me to preach much. But I hope I am travelling in order to preach. If not, Lord Jesus, help me to drink the bitter cup of a continued silence, with a holy resignation, believing that what is, is best! Lord, I believe, help thou my unbelief! Every where as I came along, my spiritual children gladly received me. Almighty God, do thou provide for all! I hope you go on well at London. It is the Jerusalem, the Goshen. May ministers and people see their privileges, and work whilst it is day! The night of sickness and death is coming, when no man can work. Be pleased to remember me to dear Mr. and Mrs. J——, and all dear friends as they come in your way. To-morrow I may set forwards towards Edinburgh. You and yours will follow me with your prayers, and be assured of not being forgotten by, my very dear Mr. K——n,
Yours, &c. &c. in our common Lord,
G. W.
