Chapter CLIII: Letter MCXVIII: To Mr. B――――

_Tabernacle-House, February 9, 1756._

_Reverend Sir_,

ON our late fast day, a collection was made at the Tabernacle where I preach, eighty pounds of which I have deposited in the hands of Mr. _A――――_, in _Fleet-street_, for the use of the poor persecuted _French_ protestants. That our great and compassionate High-priest may accept it as done to himself, and bless you and the honourable society established for promoting so laudable a charity, is the hearty prayer of, reverend Sir,

Your unworthy brother and fellow-labourer
in the cause of our common LORD,

_G. W._
