I SEE with delight, that you _are set up_ as a mark, for every one of the _devil_’s tools to shoot _at_: and _he_ certainly wounds the deepest by those, who, while they are working for him, imagine they are doing God service, and acting with _Christian prudence_. How often is _that wisdom_ which comes from _beneath_, taken for that which comes from _above_! And _fear_ of man, _secret_ desire of preferment, and being _ashamed_ of the _cross_ of _Christ_, dignified with the title of true _discretion_, and caution not to give offence!――’Tis hard, indeed, to be wounded in the house of your friends; nothing, perhaps, is more painful to nature; but if they have called the master of the house _Beelzebub_, how much more those of his houshold!――Those servants of Christ who are designed by him for _eminent usefulness_, must of necessity have the largest share of tribulation; for the highest place of honour under our _king_, is that of the sharpest sufferings. I should not wonder if the tongues and pens of all your brethren (except two or three) were employed against _you_; and I am so far from being sorry (on your account) for Mr. _L._’s preaching against you, that I look upon it as a _precious_ and _blessed mark_, and a _seal_ to the truth of your ministry.――Happy parting, indeed, with the world! And happy parting with every comfort in it, if nearer union with God is the consequence! Oh cease not to pray for me, that all things may thus work together for my good!――This poor dream of life will soon be at an end; and _then_, if those who have only given a cup of cold water for the sake of Christ, shall not lose their reward, what an exceeding and eternal weight of glory attends those happy souls who constantly labour, and patiently suffer for him! _I am, your obliged and faithful Friend and Servant_, **** The End of the THIRTEENTH VOLUME.
