Wesley Corpus

To John Taylor Date: BRISTOL, March 4, 1789 Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1789) Author: John Wesley --- MY DEAR BROTHER, -- I think here we must close our friendly contest, for neither can convince the other. Yet still I must maintain, I plead simply for this. 1. Let the Conference have the right of stationing the preachers, the same that I have now; and which is secured to me by the deed in question. 2. This deed gives me no property in any houses, nay, by this deed I lose the property of those houses which were mine before. 3. Pray consider this. These houses were my property till that deed took place. Since then I am not proprietor of any house in England. And can that deed convey a property to the Conference, which divested me of it -- I am Your affectionate friend and brother.
