Wesley Corpus

To Henry Moore Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1788) Author: John Wesley --- SCARBOROUGH, Monday, June 16, 1788. DEAR HENRY, -- On Saturday next and on Saturday se'n-night I expect to be at Epworth, near Thorne, Yorkshire [sic]; on Monday, July 7, at Doncaster, Yorkshire; and on Monday the 14th at London. These Meetings will do you no harm at all. Only go quietly on your way. There should be no delay in enlarging the house if you can get a good title to the ground. [See letter of Aug. 8 to Arthur Keene.] As far as is possible I should advise you to take no notice, good or bad, of the warm men. Let them say what they will and do what they can. Neddy Smyth [Edward Smyth, of Bethesda, and his brother William, one of the Dublin Methodists who objected to services in Church hours. Bethesda had been built at his cost.] wrote lately to me, and I to him, but without a word of dispute. Probably I shall see Mr. W. Smyth; but if I do, I will not dispute with him. I am a man of peace. Peace be with you and yours.--I am, dear Henry, Your affectionate friend and brother.
