MY DEAR BROTHER, The work is to be delivered in weekly and monthly numbers; but it is of most use to have portable volumes. The first collected edition of Wesley's Works, published in thirty-two 12mo vols. 1771-4. see Green's Bibliography, No. 276. I have corrected as much as will make nine or ten out of the thirty volumes. All the verse works I have corrected in conjunction with the preachers, and left the corrected copy at London. If I live to finish the correction of my own works, I shall then revise the Christian Library. If ever you should spend a twelvemonth in this kingdom, you would not repent of your labour. Here is a people ready prepared for the Lord. I am, with love to Sister Hopper, Your affectionate friend and brother.","word_count":141,"source_url":null,"themes":["christology","free-will","social-holiness"],"created_at":"2026-01-29T20:05:19.246499"}]}
