Since my last to you
My School has
appeard with a more Encouraging aſpect than ever
there have.
g been for Some Time evident markes of
a Spirit of Conviction in the most of
the my
^Scholars^ and in
ſeveral
Inſtances, much Reaſon to think
^yr has been^ a Saving
Change
has been wrought. The Instance
which I menti
oned in my laſt of the young Mohawk appears
more & more evident. and
Joseph Woolley
gives
me Reaſon to think that
the [illegible]
^very lately he has [illegible]^
[illegible]
^a ſaving change indeed paſsed from Death to life.^ My Pleasure in them and in doing for them
is
indeed very great. Such a School
I never before Saw. —
The inclosed proposal
pleaſe to
^I deſire you would^
Shew to
Doctr Giffords,
M.r Savage and
M.r Whitefield if he be yet in
England and make what
use and Improvement of it you
^ſhall^ think
proper. I greatly long to have it accompliſh
ed. are there more near his Majesty who
would favour & Promote it? there are ſo
many
^&
ſo weighty^ arguments in fav.
r of it, that it cant
be but
they would obtain his Majesties Counten
nance if they were but Justly repreſented to him
M.rSmith of
Boston gave me a
hint y
t among other
acts
^Expreſsions^ of Kindneſs towards
this School there was Some
talk of Collecting a Library
for it, which would indeed be very acceptable.
as
it is
^very^ much wanted. and if God
^who has y.e
[illegible] of [illegible]in his [illegible][guess: Han^d^]^ Should put
it into the Hearts of
his people
^any^ to accompliſh it
I hope Some generous Soul will
^also^ think
also of
the Neceſsity we are in of a pair of Globes and
a Set of good Mapps.
and as you are Senſible the weight of Charge
upon me, for the Support of this Deſign is not
^[below]
Diminiſhing
^
Diminiſhing but increaſing So I truſt you
will not be wanting to promote & encourage
Such aſsiſtance for me as Shall be needful
and within your Power.
I hope by the Bleſsing of God on the Labours
of Meſs
rs
Smith,
Occom, and
Aſhpo I
may
^ſhall^ have the
[illegible]Pleaſure to inform y
u of that
which ſhall be
comfortable and [guess: Shew]
^refreſhing
& which ſhall
juſtify^ you &
all those
whose by whose Charity & Labours
of Love this Deſign has been ſupported hitherto,
that
they have not been in vain
^what you have done has not been in vain.^ —
I am indeed eager to ſupply the [illegible]
ſavages
^world^ with Godly Miſsrs
and the more So
Dear Sir. of what vaſt importance is it that
a Sett of godly, Skillful, Faithf.ll
Miſsrs
^Men^ Should have the Lead in the great affair? Oh! let us pray
inceſsantly that the Lord of the Harveſt would ſend Such Labourersinto his Harveſt, and ^mercifully^ prevent all the miſcheifs
^which are^ to be feared from blind, carnal ſelf ſeeking men.
