Wesley Corpus

To Cradock Glascott 10 NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, May 13, 1764. If you are not already, it might be of use to you to be acquainted with Mr. Crosse, of Edmund Hall. He has a sound judgement and an excellent temper; and you have need of every help, that you may not lose what God hath wrought, but may have a full reward. A little tract wrote by Bishop Bull, entitled A Companion for Candidates for Holy Orders, Wesley's father says in his Advice to a Young Clergyman: 'Bishop Bull comes next for their subject and way of thinking and arguing: a strong end nervous writer, whose discourses and addresses to his clergy can scarce be too often read' See letter of Feb. 19, 1755. was of much service to me. In order to be well acquainted with the doctrines of Christianity you need but one book (beside the New Testament) Bishop Pearson On the Creed. This I advise you to read and master throughly: it is a library in one volume. But above all be much in prayer, and God will withhold no manner of thing that is good! I am Your affectionate servant. To Mr. Cradock Glascott, Jesus College, Oxon.
