LETTER CCCCX.

← The works of the Reverend George Whitefield, M.A., Vol. 1 (of 6) : Containing all his sermons and tracts, etc.

_To the Reverend Mr. J――――, in Yorkshire._

_London, April 22, 1742._ _My dear Brother_,

I Thank you and your wife for your kind benefaction. Our Saviour, I believe, will take it kindly at your hands. I rejoice that the work of our common master is carried on in _Yorkshire_. We see greater things than ever at _London_. The awakening is quite fresh. I never was strengthened more. Every day, poor sinners are brought home to JESUS CHRIST. Our people are filled as with new wine; it seems to be a _Pentecost_. I have preached six or seven times in _Moorfields_, these holidays. It would rejoice you to see the people flock from satan’s booths to hear the gospel of the Son of GOD. The people seem to have such a spirit of supplication poured out upon them, that I believe we shall see great things. I am often weak in body, but, as my work requires, I am proportionably strengthened in the inner man. Was there ever such a sinner as I am? Was there ever such a Saviour as my Saviour?

_Low at thy feet, O JESUS, let me lie, And love and praise to all eternity._

I salute all that love the LORD JESUS in sincerity, and am, dear brother _J――――_,

Yours most affectionately in JESUS CHRIST,
