LETTER

CCCCVI.

[From Mr. T. Rutherford, to the Rev. J. Wesley.]

Rev. Sir,

WHEN

Arbroth, Aug. 30, 1773

HEN I went to Perth, about the latter end of May laft, I found the work of God very low. This ftirred me up to beg of God, both for liberty in fpeaking, and

for

for the fpirit of prayer. Accordingly, after preaching to a large 'multitude in the open air, one Sabbath-day, I proposed giving an Exhortation in our Preaching-houfe, to all who defired to hear. As many came as almoft filled the houfe. While I was fpeaking, many wept, and seriousness appeared on every countenance. While I was praying, the whole (except about three or four perfons burft out into ftrong cries. Our own people faid, they never felt, nor faw any thing like it in Perth before. A dragoon was then deeply awakened, who a few days after found comfort. From that time more came to the preaching while I flayed, and heard with great attention. Others were alfo flirred up, and caft in their lot among us. I visited them again last week, and found them more than ever athirft for the word. I had a letter laft night from the dragoon above-mentioned, in which he tells me his comrade was awakened the last time I was there, and is now defirous to flee from the wrath to come. In fhort, there is at prefent a fir among the people of Perth in general.

I am, Rev. Sir, yours affectionately,

T. RUTHERFORD.

[From Mifs P. N. to the Rev. J. Welley.]

Rev. Sir,

GL

Cheltenham, Sept. 18, 1773

LORY be to God, I enjoy uninterrupted communion with him! He gives me an unbounded defire to do his whole will, at all times. I experience times of faffering to be preparatory to greater bleffings. I always find after a ftorm, fweet refreshing fhowers of grace enlivening all the powers of my foul.

Of late the Lord has been fhewing me the happy confequence of having all my thoughts, words and works brought into full conformity to him. O that I may be more and more exemplary in patience, purity and good works!

Our

Our fmall Society in. this. place, is more than "ever united together in the bonds of love. Dear Mr. Wells goes on well, without a fhadow of a doubt. His humility and fimplicity quite aftonish me!--I am often, tempted about fpeaking to you who are so much my fuperior in grace; but how can I forbear while I find fuch need of inftruction! I fhould have thought it a great privilege to have enjoyed your company and converfation at Briflol; but many things have confpired to prevent it. As your flay there at prefent is almoft finished, I hope to have an opportunity shortly of receiving a bleffing by means of your converfation. May your valuable life be prolonged for the advantage of many! ! among others, for the fake of

and

Your obliged and affectionate Servant, P. N.

PO E TR

Y.

The PROGRESS of LIFE.

ALL the world's a ftage,

And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts;
His acts being feven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in his nurfe's arms;''
And then the whining fchool-boy with his fatchel,
And fhining morning face, creeping like fnail
Unwillingly to fchool. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woful ballad
Made to his miftrefs' eyebrow. Then a foldier,
Full of ftrange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, fudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation,

Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the juice,
With fair round belly, and with good capon lined;
With eyes fevere and beard of formal cut,

Full

Full of wife Saws, and modern instances,
And fo he plays his part. The fixth age fhifts
Into the lean and flippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nofe, and pouch on fide,
His youthful hose well faved, a world too wide
For his fhrunk fhank; and his big manly voice
Turning again towards childish treble, pipes,
And whiftles in his found. Laft fcene of all
That ends this ftrange eventful hiftory,
Is fecond childifhnefs, and mere oblivion;
Sans teeth, fans eyes, fans tafte, fans every thing.

The Praife of VIRTUE.

WOULD you the bloom of youth should laft ?

'Tis Virtue that muft bind it faft;

An eafy carriage, wholly free

From four reserve, or levity;

Good-nature, and an open heart,

And looks unskilled in

any art;

Humility, enough to own

The frailties which a friend makes known,
And decent pride, enough to know

The worth that Virtue can bestow.

These are the charms which ne'er decay,

Though youth and beauty fade away;
And Time, which all things elfe removes,
Still heightens Virtue and improves.

On CHRIST being bound to the Marble Pillar.

MARE

ARBLE the pillar; marble He that's bound;
Marble the Officers that guard Him round.

Marble by nature That; by patience He;
The Laft by unrelenting cruelty.

Reader, diffolve in tears; or at this view
Wonder will turn Thee into Marble too.
