To Walter Churchey Date: LONDON, February 21, 1771. MY DEAR BROTHER, I am glad Mr. Benson and you had an opportunity of conversing freely with Mr. Fletcher, and that he has dealt so faithfully with my Lady. Perhaps it may have a good effect. At least, he has delivered his own soul, whether she will hear or whether she will forbear. See letter of Jan. 7. Entire sanctification, or Christian perfection, is neither more nor less than pure love love expelling sin and governing both the heart and life of a child of God. The Refiner's fire purges out all that is contrary to love, and that many times by a pleasing smart. Leave all this to Him that does all things well and that loves you better than you do yourself. I am, with love to Brother Thomas, Your affectionate brother.
