your
surprizeing letter is now
before me, upon receiveing it — I was ready to say:
Great, and
marvellous are thy works, Lord God Allmighty, juſt, and true, are thy ways, thou King of Saints
&c. and Even to put
up that prayer,
that All nations might
come &
worſhip before him, who only is holy
&c. what matter is it, of joy, and
rejoyceing, y
t the time is comeing, when God, will be more abundantly
feard, &
glorify
d on Earth, than hither to, he has been; when all na
tions of the world, shall come as a
willing people
unto God, and
own, & Honour him, and pay their solemn Adorations to him &c.
the
Lord, who is not unrighteous, to forget
[illegible][guess: man]
[illegible][guess: that] work, and
Labour of Love, which any have showed towards his name, I truſt
will reward,
thoſe

freely, and Generouſly Given of their
wordly subſtance, to promote, the noble &
pious

dear Sir, your letter came to me Laſt Evening, ſo
y
t it is impoſſi
ble for me, to See
Sr
B — before
mr
Brewſter returns;
Sr
Bs character is good, he is Eſteem
d a
pious man, his cariage and
Behaviour very different from y
e wild airy youths who are rea
dy, to deſpiſe him, for his Gravity &
Seriouſness, &
becauſe he will
not run with him, into
[illegible]
[illegible] riot &c —. he is account
d a good
Scholar — calm, & Sedate in his temper — but he is of a
tender or rather
broken conſtitution, occaſion
d by his able application to
his Studies; what his inclination, would be, as
to Such an under
takeing I dont know — nor how his friends, would be diſpoſ
d I cant
Say, but Suſpect, they, would be unwilling, he Should engage &c
but, I shall take an opportunity to talk with the young Gentle
man himſelf, without makeing a noiſe about the matter; & if
I find it is worth while, to advertiſe you of it, I Shall.
