_To the Rev. Mr. W. T._

_Savannah, Jan. 31, 1740._ _My dear and honoured Brother_,

BLESSED be GOD, who hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servants.――I am abased to think what our all-gracious Redeemer hath done by my unworthy hands, and rejoice to hear that he is working by your’s. Oh that you may experience fresh anointings and teaching from above! O that you may be strengthened by GOD’s mighty power in the inner man, and pull down satan’s strong-holds daily. GOD willing, I hope to be with you at the Synod. I find as yet I scarce know any thing; but if I give out of my little stock, I trust the LORD will increase it, as he did the little lad’s loaves and fishes. My journal, which I have sent to _Philadelphia_, will tell you what GOD has done in _Maryland_ and _Virginia_. A foundation of great things I believe is laying here. Oh pray that a sense of his own littleness, may be given to

Your affectionate, though unworthy brother and fellow-labourer in CHRIST,
