_To Mr. and Mrs. S――――n._
_Leeds, September 30, 1767._
_My dear Friends_,
GRACE, mercy and peace, be multiplied upon you and yours, through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Our LORD! Our GOD! Glorious words, glorious thought, glorious feeling, glorious experience! Enough to make us rejoice with joy unspeakable; even with a joy that is full of glory.
O glorious King, Us thither bring, To kiss thy feet.
O to be instrumental in bringing some with us! This excursion, I trust, will be over-ruled for that blessed purpose. I have been enabled to go forth into the highways and hedges, into the lanes and streets, of the towns and cities. Good old work, good old seasons! Help, help to praise Him, whose mercy endureth for ever! Get honest _Betty W――――d_ to join in putting up a word for her poor old master, but for JESUS CHRIST’s sake, my dear friends,
Yours, &c. &c. &c.
