JANUARY 2

It is the glory of the people called Methodists that they condemn none for their opinions or modes of worship. They think and let think, and insist upon nothing but faith working by love.
to Mrs. Howton, 1783


Leisure and I have taken leave of one another. I propose to be busy as long as I live, if my health is so long indulged me.
Works, xii. 20


The Methodists are to spread life among all denominations.
to Thomas Taylor, 1790


I care not a rush for your being called a Papist or Protestant. But I am grieved at your being a heathen. Certain it is that the general religion of both Protestants and Catholics is no better than refined heathenism.
to his nephew, Samuel Wesley, 1790
