Chapter CCLIII: Letter CCLIV: To Mrs. B

_On board the Minerva, Feb. 16, 1741._
_Dear Mrs. B._,

WHEN you read that JESUS loved _Lazarus_, _Mary_, and their sister _Martha_, do you not make a particular application to your own family? I think our LORD has been equally kind to your houshold. Walk as becometh members of the houshold of faith. I hope you have had full satisfaction about your state, and know assuredly that CHRIST is your Saviour. If not, be not discouraged; go on the way of duty, is the way of safety. By-and-by your soul shall magnify the LORD, and your spirit rejoice in GOD your Saviour. This is the hearty desire of, dear Mrs. _B――――_,

Your affectionate friend and servant in CHRIST,

_G. W._
