I received yours of the 10th Instant October, desi∣ring to own the gracious hand of God in this speedy Recovery of yours. When Hezekiah was reprieved from death for a season, tis said, he re∣turned not according to the Benefit. Take heed of that; whatever Awakning you have had, endeavour to retain it; and that's the best kind of thankful∣ness;
and this the Lord will give, if you do often let him know 'tis the real desire of your heart: He satisfieth the longing Soul. Present the same things to him by Faith and Prayer which you mention to me in your Letter, and then you may expect to speed. He can compose and direct your thoughts; for Heart∣work is his only to manage. When you put Faith and Prayer to the Word, you make it another thing than it was before in the meer Letter: that's the way to draw Water out of the Wells of Salvation. And thus hum∣bly, seriously, and chearfully expect whatever good there lies bequeathed to you in the New Testament, which is your Legacy, &c.
