Wesley Corpus

To Captain Richard Williams Date: LONDON, November 9, 1783. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1783) Author: John Wesley --- MY DEAR BROTHER, -- I know the talents which God has lent me, and I dare not bury any of them in the earth. I am a debtor both to the learned and the unlearned. And in the Magazine I apply to both; chiefly, indeed, to the unlearned, because these are the far greater number. And still I keep my original points in view, -- He died for all to save them from all sin. I think the lines on Slavery will do well! [See letters of Feb. 25 to Taylor, and Dec. 10.] They are both sensible and poetical. -- I am, dear Richard, Your affectionate brother.
