he be preached, and his divine image stamped more and more upon people's souls, I care not who is uppermost. I know my place, (Lord Jesus enable me to keep it!) even to be the servant of all. I want not to have a people called after my name, and therefore I act as I do. The cause is Christ's, and he will take care of it. I rejoice that you go on so well at the Tabernacle. May the shout of a king be always in the midst of you, and the glory of God be your reward. I am apt to believe you will pray me over. But future things belong to him, whose I am, and whom I endeavour to serve. After one more trip to the Orphan-house, I purpose
going to the Northward, where I expect more letters by Captain Grant. Thanks be to God, all is well at Bethesda. A most excellent tract of land is granted to me very near the house, which in a few years I hope will make a sufficient provision for it. Pray give my tenderest and most hearty love to all your dear family, and all the Tabernacle people, and all enquiring friends. Entreat them, I pray you, to be mindful of a poor pilgrim, who night and day is never unmindful of you or them. Doctor Doddridge I find is gone; Lord Jesus prepare me to follow after!—With real and great affection, I subscribe myself, very dear Jemmy,
Yours, &c. G. W.
LETTER DCCCCXIII. To Mr. J H.
My very dear Friend, London, May 26, 1752.
HEARING that Mr. N is to go shortly from Leith, I cannot help sending you a few lines. They leave me at London, where, through the divine goodness, I am safely arrived, after a passage of near five weeks on board the Henry. People have received me with great affection; and I never saw the work of God go on in a more promising way. Thousands and thousands hear the gospel gladly. Lord, what am I? Not unto me, not unto me, but unto thy free grace and unmerited mercy be all the glory! I wish I could send you good news about your minister. But alas! I now almost despair of procuring one. I waited upon Dr. G immediately
