Wesley Corpus

I know all the history of the Turk. See letters of Jan. 5 and Feb. 26. I must leave London on Friday to bury Mrs. Perronet. Wesley had 'paid the last office of love' (administered the Holy Communion) to her on Jan. 10. See Journal, v. 4, 8. She died on Saturday morning. The answer to the Bishop (who has broke his leg) is forthcoming. Wesley's letter to Bishop Warburton had just been published. Mr. Madan wrote the Queries. I let him have the last word. I should not wonder if a dying saint were to prophesy. Listen to Sally Colston's Charles Wesley prayed by Mr. Colston, 'desirous to be with Christ,' at Bristol on Sept. 2, 1739. A letter from Sarah Colston is given in the Journal, iii. 197-8, dated Bristol, June 6, 1745, describing the happy death of 'another of my charge,' and closing with the words, 'Oh that when He comes He may find me watching!' last words! Molly Westall died last week in huge triumph. J. Jones does good. I have seen the Colonel. Colonel Gallatin. See letter of July 19, 1750. James Morgan Morgan was closely associated with Maxfield. See letter of Jan. 8, 1757. has lately been in a violent storm, and is scarce alive. I advise him to retire to Kingswood for a season. We need all your prayers. God is preparing thoroughly to purge His floor. O let us be instant eukairws akairws. 2 Tim. iv. 2: 'in season, out of season.' We join in love to Sally. Adieu! Charles wrote at the back of this letter: 'Himself confirming my prophecy of the Ranters.' To the Editor of the 'London Chronicle' 1 LONDON, February 9, 1763. SIR, I take this opportunity of informing all whom it may concern (1) that Mr. Bell is not a member of our Society; (2) that I do not believe either the end of the world or any signal calamity will be on the 28th instant; and (3) that not one in fifty, perhaps not one in five hundred, of the people called Methodists believe any more than I do either this or any other of his prophecies. I am Your humble servant. To his Brother Charles LONDON, February 26, 1763.
