Collected Works of John Wesley, Volume XIV
Contents:
To the Reader.
The following tract did not come to my hand soon enough to be inserted in its proper place; namely, between Bishop Hall’s and Mr. Bolton’s Works, with whom the author of it was contemporary. But it can never be unseasonable nor unacceptable to those who love plain, sound, practical religion. I have seen nothing on the subject, in any either ancient or modern tongue, which is in any degree comparable to it. It is so full, so deep, so closely, so strongly wrote, and yet with the most exquisite decency even where the author touches on points of the most delicate nature that are to be found within the whole compass of divinity. I cannot therefore but earnestly recommend it to the most serious and attentive consideration of all those married persons who desire to have a conscience void of offense, and to adorn the Gospel of God our Savior.
John Wesley.
London,
