againſt Swearing.
23

Deliverance; (as I hope, by the Bleſſing of God, it will) praiſe and adore the Goodneſs of his Providence, who hath not ſuffered you to go on ſecurely in your Sin; and make yourſelf the inſtrument of his Glory, by endeavouring to reclaim others from the ſame unhappy Courſe; which is the moſt proper Satisfaction you can make to God for your former Profaneneſs.

You cannot think, that I have any other Motive in ſending this, beſides my own Duty, and your Good. It is a Satisfaction to me to have gone thus far in a Diſcharge of my Duty, as a Miniſter of Chriſt, and your Spiritual Paſtor; but it will be a much greater Comfort, to find that this Admonition proves effectual upon you. And that God, who worketh in us all both to will and to do, will be graciouſly pleaſed to make it effectual, is the earneſt Prayer of,

Your truly loving and
affectionate Friend
and Paſtor.
