Wesley Corpus

Well meaning S[ister] Ryan greatly labored to pull you down when you first went to Latonstone. It would not have been strange if that had thrown you into many doubts and fears, as you believed her to be holier than yourself, and a better judge of spiritual things. I know she by this means unsettled several, who had tasted of the pure Love of God. [See letters of Dec. 3, 1769, June 28 and Sept. 12, 1766.] It is my design, if God continues my health and strength, tc go over to Ireland this spring. You will probably see me in autumn if I live. - I am, dear Sally, Yours affectionately. To Mrs. Crosby. At Mrs. Haigh's, In Halifax, Yorkshire. To Robert Carr Brackenbury [6] LONDON, January 23, 1780. DEAR SIR,-I am glad that it has pleased God to restore your health, and that you have been employing it to the best of purposes. It is worth living for this (and scarcely for anything else), to testify the gospel of the grace of God. You will find many in these parts who have ears and hearts to receive even the deep things of God. I believe a journey to Ireland will be of use to your soul and body. Meet me at --, and we can settle our journeys. - I am, dear sir, Your very affectionate friend and brother. To Alexander Knox NEAR LONDON, January 28, 1780.
