Wesley Corpus

To Henry Moore Date: DUMFRIES, June 1, 1790. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1790) Author: John Wesley --- DEAR HENRY, -- So I am upon the borders of England again. My sight is much as it was; but I doubt I shall not recover my strength till I use that noble medicine [See letter of April 11.] preaching in the morning. But where can we put poor Adam Clarke He must not preach himself to death; and what circuit is he equal to, where he can have rest as well as labor The best place I can think of at present is Leeds. [Clarke went to Dublin. See letter of July 31 to John King.] The dying words of the Prince of Orange are much upon my mind: 'Lord, have mercy upon the people!' [William the Silent, assassinated 1584.] I never saw so much likelihood of doing good in Scotland as there is now if all our preachers here would be Methodists indeed. My dear Henry, love me as well as you can. -- I am, dear Henry, Your affectionate friend and brother.
