Wesley Corpus

To Mr. Clarke, At the New Room, Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1791) Author: John Wesley --- Dublin. PS. by James Rogers I hope you received my second letter about poor Simmonds, or rather that of the stewards from Plymouth Dock, as I was sorry their former letter must have reached you too long before I had it in my power to contradict it. It is wonderful how this report of your starving for want, &c., &c., in Dublin had arisen in the manner it seems to have been told our friend Mather. But I told Mr. Wesley at the time I was confident it was a mistake. It is well if some who thought, nay, often said: 'If such and such left us, the work of God as to temporals in Dublin must decline.' I say it is well if these are not the inventors of it. But, blessed be God, He will never be at loss for means to carry on His own work. My wife joins in much love to you and yours, and all friends.--I am yours, etc., etc.
