To Walter Churchey Date: LONDON, October 18, I777. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1777) Author: John Wesley --- MY DEAR BROTHER,--You see how 'good wits jump.' We agree that no politics shall have a place in the Arminian Magazine. But poetry will; only my brother and I are the judges what pieces shall be admitted. It may be some will think us too nice in our choice; but that we cannot help. As to a review of religious books, it might be well; but I have two objections: (1) I scruple my own sufficiency for the work; (2) I would not at any price be bound to read over all the present religious productions of the press. Peace be with you and yours, young and old!--I am Your affectionate brother.
