Dear Sammy,
J. Wesley
July 28, 1758
Dear Sammy,
Your conjecture is right. I never received the letter you speak of, nor heard before that you was in Holy Orders.
1Cf. the previous letters from
JW to Furly of Apr. 8 and May 3, 1758. Furly was ordained deacon on May 21, 1758.
I hope you are also in great earnest
to save your own soul as well as those that hear you.
You have need to pray much for steadiness of spirit and seriousness in conversation. If there be added to this the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, your words will not fall to the ground.
There will be danger, if you write so much, of writing in a dry and formal manner. We may suffer loss either by writing too little or too much. Observe every step you take. Walk circumspectly, and God will be with you. I am,
Your affectionate brother,J. Wesley
We expect to sail in three or four days.
