LETTER CCCCIX. To Captain G, in Philadelphia.
Dear Brother G, London, April 22, 1742.
I Hope this will find you very happy in the love of Christ. I was glad to hear you had so good a time, before our friends left you. I wish you no less, than that you may be filled with all the fulness of God. We have had a glorious Easter, or rather a Pentecost. Jesus Christ is risen indeed. I have been preaching in Moorfields, and our Saviour carries all before us. Nought can resist his conquering blood. It would have delighted you, to have seen the poor sinners flock from the booths, to see Jesus lifted up on the pole of the gospel. I have received many tickets from young apprentices, &c. &c. Our society goes on wonderfully well. Every day we hear of fresh conquests. God's children are expecting very great things. I believe they will not be disappointed of their hope. But I am in haste. Your wife was well the last time I saw her. Brother S and his wife have been to see her.—My dear wife and brother S kindly salute you, and all that love our glorious Emmanuel. Pray write a line to, dear brother G,
Yours, &c. G. W.
LETTER CCCCX. To the Reverend Mr. J, in Yorkshire.
My dear Brother, London, April 22, 1742.
I Thank you and your wife for your kind benefaction. Our Saviour, I believe, will take it kindly at your hands. I rejoice that the work of our common master is carried on in Yorkshire. We see greater things than ever at London. The awakening is quite fresh. I never was strengthened more. Every day, poor sinners are brought home to Jesus Christ.
