To Samuel Furly
Tullamore
May 1, 1758
Dear Sammy,
J. Wesley
May 1, 1758
Dear Sammy,
Two conversations I have had with the Bishop of Londonderry,
1The Bishop of Derry since
1747 had been William Barnard (1697–1768). JW was consulting Barnard about the possibility of Furly being ordained without
requirement of a title (see the letter of Apr. 8
above).
and processimus pulchre.2'We are proceeding well.'
I intend to write to
him in a few days, and
then I shall be able to form a better judgement. He loves the Methodists from his heart.
But he is not free from the
fear of man. Yet I have much hope that love will conquer fear. Will it not conquer all
sin?
Why do you not go every afternoon to visit the sick? Can you find a more profitable employment? I am,
Your affectionate brother,J. Wesley
