Wesley Corpus

To Rebecca Yeoman Date: LONDON, February 5, 1772. MY DEAR SISTER, As far as I understand, you are now properly in the wilderness state. I advise you to read over that sermon in the fourth volume, See Works, vi. 77-91 and examine yourself thereby. If you find out the cause of heaviness or darkness, you are more than half-way to the cure. If Jenny Johnson See letter of Aug. 4, 1770. is throughly sensible of her fault, you may trust her; if not, she should not meet in band. As your mind is tender and easily moved, you may readily fall into inordinate affection; if you do, that will quickly darken your soul. But watch and pray, and you shall not enter into temptation. If it please God to continue my life and strength, I expect to come through Scotland in April and May, so as to reach Newcastle about the beginning of June He arrived on May 25.; but who knows whether we may not before then take a longer journey Our wisdom is to live to-day. I am, dear Becky, Your affectionate brother.
