LETTER DXII.

To the Same.


Bhuadder, April 23, 1743.

My dear Friend,

I Wrote to you from Haverford and Carmarthen. I preached there twice on Thursday to about ten thousand people, and dear Mr. R—— preached after me. Yesterday we had another blessed association; and have now settled all the counties in Wales. Our Lord was wonderfully with us. You cannot tell how delighted the brethren went away. Indeed they seemed filled as with new wine. Last night we came hither to a little inn. A sweet retreat from the rain. I must away to preach this morning. Help me, my dear man, to be thankful. I kindly salute you and yours, and am,

 Ever yours, G. W.

LETTER DXIII. To the Same.


Guenfithen, near the Hay in Radnorshire, April 25, 1743.

My dear Sir,

I Wrote to you on Saturday morning; afterwards I preached at Llangathan in the church, to a great congregation; I then went about ten miles, and preached at Landovery in the evening, and on Sunday morning. God was with us each time. On Sunday evening I preached to a large and polite auditory at Brecon, fifteen miles from Landovery.—This morning I preached at Trevecka, and just now at this place, with as great freedom, power and melting, almost as we have seen. It is now past seven at night, and I have seven or eight Welsh miles to go. I am glad you are so happy in Jesus. My body is weak, but I am at the Redeemer's feet, and he reigns king in my heart, and causes me to rejoice and triumph over all. Help me to praise him. Brother H—— salutes you all. The Lord be with you.

Ever, ever yours,

G. W.
