REVEREND SIR, I was exceedingly surprised when I was informed yesterday of your affirming publicly in the church, in the face of a whole congregation, 'Now Wesley has sent down for an hundred pounds; and it must be raised directly. Nay, it is true.' O sir, is this possible Can it be that you should be so totally void, I will not say of conscience, of religion, but of good nature as to credit such a tale and of good manners and common sense as thus to repeat it I must beg that you would either justify or retract this (for it is a point of no small concern), and that I may know what you propose to do, before I set out for London. I am, reverend sir, Your brother and servant for Christ's sake.","word_count":146,"source_url":null,"themes":["experience","christology","prevenient-grace"],"created_at":"2026-01-29T18:42:37.021594"}]}
