Wesley Corpus

To Henry Moore Date: LONDON, January 18, 1788. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1788) Author: John Wesley --- MY DEAR BROTHER, -- This is an unprecedented thing. I never before saw or heard of such a flow of grace as was seen [in] Dublin three years together without a proportionable ebb succeeding. [See letter of April 6.] Whereas to this hour we have no ebb at all. We can only say, 'It is the Lord: let Him do what seemeth Him good.' I am glad you have got an house in Marlborough Street. [On Feb. 19 Wesley refers to the opening of the Marlborough Street Room.] I have appointed a class to meet there. It must needs give much offense. However, give as little as possible. Behave to them with all possible tenderness and courtesy. And do nothing that you foresee will give offense, unless it be a matter of duty. It is exceeding well that you have made a beginning at Castle Road. I wonder all the villages round Dublin have not been tried before now. My best love attends my dear Nancy.--I am, dear Henry (and Becky [See letter of Feb.] too), Your affectionate friend and brother.
