_To the Same._

_Bristol, November 23, 1766._

_Dear Sir_,

SUCH a numerous brilliant assembly of the mighty and noble, I never saw attend before at _Bath_. Every thing is so promising, that I was constrained to give notice of preaching next _Sunday_. I hope the Redeemer will give us a blessed sabbath. I trust already the arm of the LORD hath been revealed. Congregations have been very large and very solemn. O what _Bethels_ hath JESUS given to us! We were filled as with new wine! O that GOD would make my way into every town in _England_! Methinks I long to break up fresh ground, and to begin to begin to do something for JESUS. I am just come here weary, but am going to speak a few words. This prevents my enlarging; but I could not refrain writing to one I so dearly love, and to whom I am so greatly obliged. GOD bless you! GOD bless you and yours! Accept most unfeigned love and acknowledgments, and still add to my innumerable obligations, by praying for, my very dear Sir,

Yours, &c. in our glorious Head,
