Wesley Corpus

To Joseph Taylor Date: BRISTOL, September 9, 1782. DEAR JOSEPH, You will now have full scope for the exercise of every talent that God has given you; and you have fellow laborers after your own heart. See that no strangeness creep in between you! If you continue instant in prayer, I trust there will be such a work in Cornwall as never was yet. You remember the rule of Conference that every Assistant should take my books in his own hands, See previous letter and that of Sept. 24. as having better opportunities of dispersing them than any private person can possibly have. I desire you would do this without delay. The Primitive Physick should be in every family. So should the Christian Pattern if possible. Of the Magazines I need say nothing. Herein I am persuaded you will tread in James Rogers's steps, and go beyond him as far as you can. The children will require much attention; and the bands too, or they will molder away. I am, dear Joseph, Your affectionate friend and brother.
