LETTER MCCCCV.
To Mr. S——e.
London, February 27, 1769.
My dear Mr. S——e,
NOT want of love, but of leisure, hath prevented my making proper acknowledgments for your kind letter, and late publication. I think it is well written; and I earnestly pray, that it may be blessed to many. One passage seems exceptionable, where you say, “That all believers were originally endowed with the extraordinary gifts of the Holy Ghost.” The instances urged to prove it, seem quite deficient. This is not written to find fault, but to prevent fault finding. That you may be much owned in every thing you undertake, and, with all the Christian Sheerness brethren, increase with all the increase of God, is the hearty prayer of,
Less than the least of all,
G. W.
P. S. Blessed be God, the shout of the King of kings is yet to be heard amongst us. Grace! grace!
