Wesley Corpus

To John Bredin Date: LONDON, February 20, 1782. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1782) Author: John Wesley --- MY DEAR BROTHER, -- It was a good providence that none of your bones were broken. God gave His angels charge over you. So far the old murtherer could go, and no farther. ’Tis well if these headstrong Volunteers [See Journal, vi. 188.] do not soon get their own necks into an halter. The Southern Volunteers have absolutely refused to join them in any such measures. This is not my year for Ireland; but whether I shall go westward or northward, I have not yet determined. You say ‘Pray deliver the enclosed’; but you do not say to whom. I suppose you mean to Mr. Abraham. [John Abraham. See letters of May 8, 1781, and April 25, 1783 (to Charles Wesley).] -- I am Your affectionate friend and brother.
