Wesley Corpus

To Thomas Carlill Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1788) Author: John Wesley --- [Noveraber 1788.] DEAR TOMMY, -- We have suffered much inconvenience by taking in more preachers than we were able to keep, or indeed to employ, without their staying in one place longer than was good either for them or for the people. And this is a wrong time of year to send out young preachers, especially into the fens of Lincolnshire. You must therefore make the best shift that you can till towards spring. I am glad to hear that you go on in love and peace with each other. All our brethren should pray fervently and continually for the King. Nothing but the mighty power of God can restore him. -- I am, dear Tommy, Your affectionate friend and brother.
