" I hope to see you before the summer is ended, if it
please God to spare me and give me strength for the
journey. I am in some respects better than when I
came here, and was enabled to bury a corpse last Sun-
day to oblige the minister of the parish ; but whether
it was that little exertion of voice or something else,
bad symptoms have returned since. Be that as it may, all
is well ; for He that does all things well, rules and over-
rules all. I have stood the heats we have had these two
days better than I expected. I desire you will help me
to bless the Author of all good for this and every other
blessing of this life : but above all for the lively hopes
of the next, and for Christ our common hope, peace,
joy, wisdom, righteousnesi, salvation, and all. In him
I meet, love, and embrace you. God bless you all, and
crown you with loving kindness and tender mercy all
the day long ! I live if you stand. Don't let me want
the reviving cordial of hearing that you stand together
firm in the faith, broken in humility, and rejoicing in the
loving hope of the glory of God. Look much at Jesus.
Bless God much for the gift of his - only begotten Son.
