Wesley Corpus

A little tract wrote by Bishop Bull, entitled A Companion for Candidates for Holy Orders, [Wesley's father says in his Advice to a Young Clergyman: 'Bishop Bull comes next for their subject and way of thinking and arguing: a strong end nervous writer, whose discourses and addresses to his clergy can scarce be too often read' See letter of Feb. 19, 1755.] was of much service to me. In order to be well acquainted with the doctrines of Christianity you need but one book (beside the New Testament)--Bishop Pearson On the Creed. This I advise you to read and master throughly: it is a library in one volume. But above all be much in prayer, and God will withhold no manner of thing that is good!--I am Your affectionate servant. To Mr. Cradock Glascott, Jesus College, Oxon. To the Countess of Huntingdon [11] NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, May 16, 1764.
