_To Madam C――――._
_New Brunswick, April 27, 1740._ _Madam_,
ALL things go on well in _America_――nay, better than I dare ask, or could think. Our LORD’s kingdom comes with power. It is amazing to see how GOD is present in our assemblies: I refer you to dear brother _S――――_ for particulars. My animal spirits are exhausted, but I am filled within. Nature would sometimes cry out, “Spare thyself;” but when I am offering JESUS to poor sinners, I cannot forbear exerting all my powers. Oh that I had a thousand lives! my dear LORD JESUS should have them all. I long to be out of the body, that I may love and serve him as I would: but I must suffer before I can reign with him. That you and I may never deny our LORD, is the earnest prayer of, Madam,
Your obliged humble servant,
