Chapter CDXXVI: Letter MCCCXCIII: To the Same

_Bristol, August 30, 1768._

_My very dear Friend_,

WHAT we have seen and felt at the college is unspeakable. Through mercy last night we came hither. My disorder has returned. This may hasten me up: or rather hasten me to heaven. I hope your daughter will have it revealed _in her_ before she goes hence. That is all in all. Is there any thing too hard for the LORD?

Surely, O GOD, thy grace is free,
For, O my GOD, it found out ME!

In a day’s time my rout may be determined. _P――――d_, &c. must make haste. Captain _J――――ss_ comes up at the appointed time. Hearty love awaits dear Mr. _E――――s_, &c. &c. &c. Cease not to pray for, my very dear friend,

Yours, &c. &c. in JESUS,

_G. W._

_P. S._ Since writing the above I received yours. I find the threatened blow is given. I hope _both_ are enabled to say, “The LORD hath given, and the LORD hath taken away: and blessed be the name of the LORD.” Be pleased to send what letters you have for me, and accept these few lines of condolance from, my dear Sir,

Yours, &c. &c. in an all-compassionate JESUS,

_G. W._
