Wesley Corpus

To Mrs. Middleton Date: LONDON, February 21, 1786. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1786) Author: John Wesley --- MY DEAR SISTER, - If it please God to continue my health and strength, I hope to be at Yarm about the 10th of May and the next day at Darlington. But I shall be obliged to make the best of my way from thence via North of Scotland. I have now so many places to visit that the summer hardly gives me time for my work. How differently does it please Him, who orders all things well, to dispose the lot of his children! I am called to work: you are called to suffer. And if both these paths lead to the same parish, it is enough; only let us take heed that we lose not the things which we have gained, but that we insure a full reward. To be under the same roof with you, whether in a palace or a cottage, will be a pleasure to, my dear sister, Yours affectionately.
