Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of the Rev. Charles Wesley, Sometime Student of Christ-Church, Oxford, Vol. 2 of 2: Comprising a Review of His Poetry Mrs. Charles Wesley was the mother of eight children. It may therefore be supposed that she could not long accompany her husband in those very extensive journeys to which he had been accustomed. His labours indeed became gradually limited, till they were almost exclusively confined to London and Bristol. As it was requisite that he should spend much time in the metropolis, and the family residence was in Bristol, he was often separated from her. During their absence his letters to her were numerous; and they were uniformly characterized by tender affections and fervent piety. Many of them have been preserved; but unhappily scarcely any are fully dated, so that it is impossible to ascertain the time at which they were written. A few selections will show the spirit of the writer to great advantage. They are equally honourable to the man, the husband, and the Minister of Christ. "The Foundery, May 10th. I had not time the last post to tell my dearest Sally what comfort I had in doing the last office to an old child of mine, who came this week to the grave as a ripe shock of corn. From her grave I hastened to preach our Lord´s ascension; and we shared in his triumph and rejoiced in hope of receiving all the gifts He has received for us. "Our meeting of the Leaders was a most solemn assembly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
