your
surprising letter is now
before me, upon receiving it — I was ready to say:
Great, and
marvelous are thy works, Lord God almighty, just, and true, are thy ways, thou King of Saints
etc. and Even to put
up that prayer,
that All nations might
come and
worship before him, who only is holy
etc. what matter is it, of joy, and
rejoicing, that the time is coming, when God, will be more abundantly
feared, and
glorified 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, and Honour him, and pay their solemn Adorations to him etc.
the
Lord, who is not unrighteous, to forget
[illegible][guess: that] work, and
Labour of Love, which any have showed towards his name, I trust
will reward,
those
that have so
freely, and generously Given of their
wordly substance, to promote, the noble and
pious
design of gospeliz
ing, the poor indians etc. — .
dear Sir, your letter came to me last Evening, so
that it is impossi
ble for me, to See
Sir
Brewer — before
Mr.
Brewer returns;
Sir
Brewer's character is good, he is esteemed a
pious man, his carriage and
Behaviour very different from the wild airy youths who are rea
dy, to despise him, for his Gravity and
seriousness, and
because he will
not run with him, into
[illegible]
[illegible] riot etc. —. he is accounted a good
Scholar — calm, and Sedate in his temper — but he is of a
tender or rather
broken constitution, occasioned by his able application to
his Studies; what his inclination, would be, as
to Such an under
taking I dont know — nor how his friends, would be disposed I cant
Say, but suspect, they, would be unwilling, he Should engage etc.
but, I shall take an opportunity to talk with the young Gentle
man himself, without making a noise about the matter; and if
I find it is worth while, to advertise you of it, I Shall.
