Revd
& very dear B.r
I am Still in good health.
thro
y
e great goodneſs of God, & So is
mr Occom—
tho' he is but juſt recovered from an ill turn of
the dyſcentary without blood
[illegible]w
ch confined
[illegible]three or
4 Days. I have,
my D.
r B.
r, Seen much of the goodneſs
of God Since I have been here, &
alſo of the working of
Satan. I now forbare Saying any thing to you of Some
of his old tricks for a certain reaſon, concluding you
will hear Something from other hands. O that we may
go
on truſting
& hoping in God, & quietly waiting for
his Salvation. I verily believe that God will
appear
in his own time & way to confound all who riſe up a
gainſt this glorious deſign. O pray much for me, for
I expect Shortly to arm for battle, unleſs the Lord pre
vent, & I
[illegible] can aſſure you I am not afraid to fight in this
good Cauſe
eſpecially as enimies here begin, even before
hand, to lick the duſt. I beg, my Good Sir, that you would
[illegible]Send me with all Speed, an authentick
acc.
t of all the
monies you rec.
d of y
e
London Comſ.n
& of all they did towards
m.r Occoms Education. It may be Something will open
here w
ch will give Some light —
Mr Lane
^one of ye Society^ told me this day
that they remit very little below
£1000 Ster.
per An. to
their C–––
ubi eſt !!!!!!! You can procure of
Mr Shaw of
N. L. an acc.
t of all
M.r Occom
hath
rec.
d of y
e
B––n C––
& let it be atteſted —Theſe things may keep me here a
little longer, but they will turn out gloriouſly by & by
The wrath of man Shall praiſe thee, &c.
I can't Say how much Money is already Subſcribed, but
I believe about £1500 Ster. The faithful miniſters here
grow more & more bold in this Cauſe. Dear
Mr Romain on reading y
e narrative was So affected that he could not re
frain, & made a Collection in his Church of
^£^ 107 2.
[illegible][guess: ſ]3 Ster.
It is evident the cauſe gains grownd by oppoſition, & all
will be got which y
e Redeemer Sees beſt. It may be it is beſt
it Should yet live on its providence, & that his glory will
this way be more conſpicuous — his will be done — but Sho'd
I procure no more than w
t is in hand &
w
t I have aſſurance
of, it will pay for my Coming, but I can't think but
much more will be
done.
Mr Penn
hath given; how much
I can't Say — He Seems diſpoſed to encourage
^the
School's^
it removal
into y
e back Part of his Province toward
fort Duqueſne.
or it may poſſibly be accommodated near
Cohos; for
[gap: tear]
Wintworth, who hopes for
N. H:
Governm.
t Seems
[gap: tear][guess: desirous] of it. But where
would you chuſe it? I tell here
[gap: tear][guess: but] 5 or 6 t
^o^wnſhips would likely be Setled at once if
land could be procured on good tearms. But I wait
your Anſwer to former letters on this head. Some how
or other I have miſſed every oppertunity of Sending the
Bibles which I have procured. I think it beſt not to Send
you any Goods juſt now —
Mr
Whitifield will write you
by this Ship; he is poorly with his aſthma —
mrs White field gives much love to you &
madam. I rec.
d yours
of Feb: 12 laſt week — am grieved for
m.r Smiths in
diſpoſition. Pray git
Mr Smith to declare what
Mr Forbes offered him laſt
[illegible]Summer to engage w
th the
B––n C.–––
& write me well atteſted the Converſation
which paſſed between you &
M
r
Moſely about diſplacing
Mr Smith, & the vote of
the board
reſpecting his going
to another place; & how long the Indians at
Onohoquaga were neglected by the
B––n C.––
& the State of their application to us laſt year
(turn over.)
Perhaps you wonder why I aſk for So many things & So well
atteſted — but you muſt
excuſe my telling you juſt now, You may
know here after. There is no news here — it is a time of general
health. Give much
Love to all my dear friends — don't forgit
to pray for me — And allow me, my der Brother to Sub
Scribe
my ſelf
