in the society where I preached. This morning I preached again. It was a most remarkable time. I have been just now

preaching with great power here. Dear brother H—— is preaching in Welch. The people are very simple. I wrote to you from Waterford. I must write a letter or two more, and then away out of town. My kind and tender love to all. The Lord be with you.

 I am yours, &c. G. W.

LETTER DVIII. To the Same.


My dear Friend, Swanzey, April 12, 1743.

I Hope all is well with you. Great things are doing in Wales.—An effectual door is opened for preaching the everlasting gospel. Yesterday I preached at Neath, (seven miles from this place) from a balcony, to about three thousand souls in the street. The Lord was with me of a truth. This morning I preached here to about four thousand with great power. About one I preached at Harbrook, four miles off; and am now returned to preach here again.—Our Saviour has prepared the way before him. O free grace! Dear brother H—— has discoursed in Welch yesterday and to day.

Ever yours,
G. W.

Postscript. Past Seven in the evening. I have just now done preaching. Swanzey is taken! I never preached with a more convincing power. Many of the rich and great were present. The congregation larger than in the morning. Free grace for ever!
