LETTER [CCC.] To Mr. J—— H——, at London.

Coggeshall, July 13, 1741.

I Received your letter at Bury; but cannot think matters are quite ripe, or you duly qualified for settling a church. God lets me see more and more, that I must evangelize. I find you are for settling: do as God shall direct, I am easy. I only wish you may find settled persons to be your assistants. Without this, a church cannot be rightly ordered. I have no freedom, but in going about to all denominations. I cannot join with any one, so as to be fixed in any particular place. Every one hath his proper gift. Field-preaching is my plan: In this I am carried as on eagles wings. God makes way for me every where. The work of the Lord increases. I am comforted night and day. O free grace to such an hell-deserving sinner! I pray God to give you a right judgment in all things. I am, dear brother H——,

 Yours most affectionately in Christ Jesus, G. W.

I would have you also write to Mr. J—— B——, a converted planter; to Mrs. B——, his kinswoman, who has lately received the assurance of faith; to Mr. C——, a dear baptist minister; to Mrs.
