VOLUME 3
Poor fellow, how melancholy his case! he has not one religious friend, or one who knows any thing about it. How wonderful God’s providence! How poor a master the world! No sooner grasps his long sought object than it shows itself a bubble, and he is forced to give it up.
I am much affected by his situation. In great danger apparently. Oh that I might be the instrument of bringing him to the knowledge of Christ! I have entertained now and then a hope of it. God can do all things. His grace is infinite both in love and power. I quite love Fox for his generous and warm fidelity to the Slave Trade cause. Even very lately, when conscious that he would be forced to give up parliament for the session at least, he said “he wished to go down to the House once more to say something on the Slave Trade.”
*Charles Fox (1749-1806), longstanding Whig parliamentarian and rival of William Pitt
