Wesley Corpus

MY DEAR BROTHER, - Your letter gave me not a little satisfaction. I am glad to hear that your spirit revives. I doubt not but it will revive more and more, and the work of the Lord will prosper in your hands. I have a very friendly letter from Sir Lodowick [Sir Lodovick Grant. Wesley visited him at Grange Green, near Forres, in June 1764, and on June 7, 1779. See Journal, v. 74-6; vi. 237.]; and hope you will have an opportunity of calling upon him again, especially if Brother McAllum [Duncan McAllum was Assistant at Aberdeen, and Alexander Suter his colleague in Inverness.] and you have the resolution to change places regularly, as I proposed. I dearly love the spirit of Sister McAllum. She is a woman after my own heart. It will be of great and general use, when you have a quantity of little books, partly to sell and partly to give among the poor - chiefly indeed to give. If I live till the Conference, I will take order concerning it. Certainly you shall not want any help that is in the power of Your affectionate brother. To Zachariah Yewdall [15] DARLINGTON, June 13, 1784. DEAR ZACHARY, - I really think it is a critical case; and as we shall all (if God permit) meet together at the Conference in Leeds, I agree to what you say of referring the full consideration of the matter till that time. Meanwhile I am Your affectionate brother. To Joseph Entwisle and David Gordon [16] SCARBOROUGH, June 20, 1784. MY DEAR BRETHERN, - Having very little time, I take the opportunity of answering you both together. You have great reason to bless God continually, who has dealt so graciously with you. You have good encouragement to put forth all your strength in publishing the glad tidings of salvation. You are particularly called to declare to believers that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin. Watch and pray that you may be little in your own eyes. - I am, my dear brethren, Your affectionate brother. To Francis Wrigley SCARBOROUGH, June 20, 1784.
