_To Mr. I―――― C――――._
_Bristol, May 18, 1741._ _Dear Brother C――――_,
I Received your letter this morning, and am just setting out for _Wiltshire_. The LORD hath been much with us. Yesterday I preached three times. At every sermon, a sweet melting was observed in the congregation. Last night I gave your sister the sacrament; she is recovering. I afterwards, administered the sacrament at Mr. _T――――_’s, and had a love feast. JESUS was in the midst of us. I know not but I may come towards _London_ next week. I wonder not at your heaviness.――Before every increase of your work, you must expect some trials. Humblings are necessary for your spirit, and mine. I return my love to all. I must away. Brother _H――――_ rejoices in spirit, and joins with me, who am,
Ever yours in CHRIST,
