LETTER DCCCCXCIII.
To Mr. D――.
W HAT! have the birds of prey been pursuing, pecking at, and
wounding one of Christ’s doves? Come, my dear man, play
the man, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus, and be
not like a silly dove that hath no heart. Look to him, and you shall be
saved;
Courage then, my dear Mr. D――; Christ’s blood shall yet purge
out all remaining gall. Alas! alas! how little do we know of our hearts?
What feathers are we, when tossed in the wind of temptations? What
greater and greater abominations shall we find, when the spirit leads
us more and more into the chambers of imagery that are within us!
We shall find, that, comparatively speaking, we know nothing as we
ought to know. O my ignorance! my ignorance! My leanness, my
leanness! Pray for me, dear Mr. D――, and salute all dear friends in
my name. I will write as soon as I can. My stay in London was but
short, yet I trust profitable and sweet to many. The new tabernacle
was filled with God’s glory under the word preached, on the letter
day, and at sacrament. I am now bound for Staffordshire; follow me
with your prayers, and believe me to be

H AVING
“ loved his own, he loved them unto the end,” says the
beloved disciple, concerning Jesus Christ. I would copy after
this great exemplar, and have my love like his, steady and
disinterested. Thus you have found, and I trust always will find my
love to you. Works speak better than words. I am reposing the
utmost confidence in you and yours. You are going to assist in a
house, built in answer to millions of prayers, and which I doubt not,
will prove a blessing to many that are now unborn. Look upon it in
this light; think of the honour God is conferring upon you; then you
will launch into the deep with a holy confidence, and when arrived at
your wished for port, will behave with humility, disinterestedness,
integrity and diligence. You need not ask any prayers, they will follow
after you, though you should even fly upon the wings of the wind. I
have pawned my word for your good behaviour in every respect, and
hope to have my most sanguine expectations answered. Get but
humility, and all will be well. I am satisfied about your passage and
your room. You will remember, that God is about your bed, as well
as your other paths, and take care to behave accordingly. To be a
christian husband is no small matter. How much fresh grace is now
necessary for your new state of life! Your sufficiency lives only in
Christ. To his never-failing mercy do I commend you, and, for his
great name’s sake, subscribe myself, dear A――,

Come then, my dear Sir, and chearfully give up your Isaac for God.
He will be better to you than a thousand creatures.
Leave to his sovereign sway,
Ere now, I trust, the storm is blown over, and that the Redeemer hath
made you happy in himself. His love is unchangeable; this rock of
ages can never fail you. Build upon him, and you are quite safe. I
could enlarge, but time fails. Be pleased to remember us to all, and
believe me to be, dear Sir,

LETTER DCCCCXCIX.
To Mr. P――.
My dear P――,
ITHANK you for your kind letter; it found me just returned from
another tour in the north, which, like the former, I trust hath been
owned and blessed to many precious and immortal souls. At
Liverpool, Chester, Dudley, Wednesbury, Birmingham, Coventry,
Northampton, and various other places, the gospel report was
believed, and the arm of the Lord was revealed. At Nantwich and
Wrexham, I met with a little rough treatment; but what have pilgrims
to expect better, in their journeying through the wide howling
wilderness of this noisy and troublesome world? At London, we had
blessed seasons; and here, in my native country, the Lord of all
Lords hath repeatedly made us cry out, “how dreadful is this place!”
After Lord’s day, I am bound for Bristol and Plymouth, and hope to
get into my winter quarters some time before Christmas. Glad should
I be to travel for Jesus all the year round. It is more to me than my
necessary food. Thank you, thank you my dear singing friends, for
praying for me. I am persuaded, you help to hold up my weak hands.
O continue to pray, that I may at length begin to be a pilgrim indeed.
No other honour do I desire, whilst on this side eternity. I hope to
send you some new tunes ere long. And what is better, infinitely
better, I hope to join with you in singing the song of Moses and the
Lamb ere long in the kingdom of heaven. Till then, though as yet we
are embodied spirits,
Grace, mercy and peace be multiplied upon you all. But a word or
two concerning Jenks on the righteousness of Christ. It is a
precious book, and I think your extracting Mr. Hervey’s
recommendation, and putting it by way of preface, to a new edition,
will be sufficient. This I know is all he would consent to have done
some time ago, when applied to by a London bookseller. God
prosper this work of your hands upon you. Pray remember me to all
my never to be forgotten friends, and assure them, that not want of
love but leisure prevents their hearing more frequently from, my dear
Sir,

LETTER MII.
To Mr. A――.
IHOPED a few days ago to send you glad tidings, and blessed be
God, I am not disappointed. Never had I before such freedom in
Gloucestershire. It was so pleasant, that I intend taking it again in my
way to London. Sunday was indeed an high day. I preached and
gave the sacrament at the new-house in the morning, and preached
again at Mr. G――’s and Mr. F――’s in the field, at noon and in the
evening. Showers of blessings descended from above. Mr. L――
supped with me; our Lord gave us richly to feast upon his great
love. At Painswick we had two pleasant seasons, and the same
favour was vouchsafed us at Chafford and Tedbury. At Gloucester
also a time of refreshing came from the presence of the Lord, and
the dear Alderman’s house was made a Bethel to my soul. God
brought me here on Monday evening, and to my great
disappointment the new tabernacle is not finished, so that I know not
well what to do. However, we had a good time last night at the hall,
and I hope all this is but the beginning of a warm winter. I am glad
that the Lord Jesus deals so bountifully with you at London. May he
do so more and more! I believe he will. Your motion to go to Norwich
I much approve of. Whatever others design, that is nothing to us.
Simplicity and godly sincerity will carry all before it in the end. O that
the sons of Zeruiah could be persuaded to let us alone! But how then
should we be able to approve ourselves sons of David? By thorns
and briars, the old man must be scratched to death.—O this
crucifixion work! Lord Jesus help us to go through it! He will, he will.
I commend thee and thine to his almighty protection and never-
failing mercy, as being, my very dear man,

Stroude, November 27, 1753.
Y will be thy shield and thy exceeding great reward.” Now is your
time to approve yourself his daughter.—My heart’s desire and
prayer to the Lord of all Lords is, that you may be strong in faith,
and thereby give glory to God.—I am much obliged to those who
dissuade you from going.—I find most love to be friends till they
begin to have their Isaacs demanded.—Let them have but a little
patience: perhaps I may embark myself.—If they do not think it a
privilege to go for Christ over the waters, I do.—This, even this is
the language of my heart,
O for a pilgrim heart! This I believe God hath given you, and I do not
fear repenting the confidence I have reposed in you.—That the Lord
may make you a mother in Israel, and bless you in taking care of his
dear lambs, is the hearty prayer of, dear Mrs. C――,

To Mr. S――.
W HEN I saw the seal of your last sweet letter, I guessed at the
contents of it. Blessed be God, I was not disappointed. The
heart was soaring aloft, mounting on the wings of faith and love, and
had fled out of sight of this poor and troublesome world. Thus may
that God, who is rich in mercy, pay and reward all that love ill and
hell-deserving me! The devil himself dares ♦ not accuse us, for
serving and loving God or man, for these wages. They are wages of
God’s appointing, God’s promising, God’s paying. May my dear
friend always find such payment! I believe he will.
Yours, &c.
