Wesley Corpus

To Ann Bolton Date: BURSLEM, April 1, 1784. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1784) Author: John Wesley --- MY DEAR NANCY, - The recovery of Mr. Boltoh's health and much more of his cheerfulness you should look upon as a token for good, a fresh proof that God is on your side. It is another blessing that your spirits do not sink, but you are still kept above the billows. It shows, indeed, how you are called to trust God, though without knowing which way He will lead you. In due time He will reveal this also and make it plain before your face. At present it is easier to know what is not to be done than what is. But you are in God's school, and He will teach you one lesson after another fill you have learned all His holy and acceptable will. O tarry thou the Lord's leisure. Be strong, and He shall comfort thy heart; and put thou thy trust in the Lord! - I am, my dear Nancy, Yours most affectionately.
