Fix on his work our stedfast eye,
So shall our work be done.——
Our enemies shall be at peace with us, and the very ravens, birds of prey, shall be obliged to come and feed us. O for an increase of faith! I hope you have refreshing times from the presence of the Lord, among your own flock. May grace, mercy, and peace, be multiplied amongst you! If the common interest of the Redeemer be promoted, I rejoice, yea and will rejoice. My earnest prayer is, that you, and all that labour in our Lord’s vineyard, may more and more be taught to give every one their portion of meat in due season; and may your rod blossom more and more! O to end life well. Methinks I have now but one more river to pass over, Jordan. And we know of one that can carry us over, without being ankle deep. How are Messrs. G——th, A——ge, &c. &c. S——k and his wife send cordial salutations. I left them labouring on their Bethesda plan, till the intended college is established. Yet a little while, and all true labourers shall enter into the joy of their Lord. Amen! Hallelujah! Cease not to pray for, dear Mr. E——s,
Yours, &c. in the blessed Jesus,
G. W.
