Wesley Corpus

To Christopher Hopper Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1788) Author: John Wesley --- NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, June 3, 1788. MY DEAR BROTHER, -- I said nothing, less or more, in Bradford Church concerning the end of the world, neither concerning my own opinion. What I said was that Bengelius had given it as his opinion, not that the world would then end, but that the Millennial reign of Christ would begin in the year 1836. I have no opinion at all upon that head. I can determine nothing about it. These calculations are far above, out of my sight. I have only one thing to do, to save my own soul and those that hear me. -- I am, with kind love to Sister Hopper, Yours affectionately.
