Wesley Corpus

To his Father Date: LINCOLN COLLEGE, December 11, 1730. To-morrow night I expect to be in company with the gentleman The young gentleman of Christ Church who said, 'Here is a new sect of Methodists sprung up.' who did us the honor to take the first notice of our little Society. I have terrible reasons to think he is as slenderly provided with humanity as with sense and learning. However, I must not slip this opportunity, because he is at present in some distress, occasioned by his being obliged to dispute in the schools on Monday, though he is not furnished with such arguments as he wants. I intend, if he has not procured them before, to help him to some arguments, that I may at least get that prejudice away from him that ' we are friends-to none but what are as queer as ourselves.'
