To John Bredin Date: LIVERPOOL, April 10, 1782. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1782) Author: John Wesley --- MY DEAR BROTHER, -- I have a letter from Mrs. Davenport, informing me that Hugh Moore has offered marriage to Kitty Davenport without the consent of her parents. [Evidently Hugh Moore, preacher at Londonderry. See the letter of Aug. 4 to Bredin.] Pray write to him strongly upon the head, and show him the sinfulness of such a proceeding: reminding him withal that, if he married a person without the consent of her parents, he would thereby exclude himself out of the Methodist Connection. Let him remember the exemplary behavior of John Prickard on a like occasion. If he will seriously promise entirely to drop the affair, he may come to Coleraine as usual. If he will not, he must come thither no more. -- I am Your affectionate friend and brother.
