3. “An Extract of Letters on Religious Subjects, by Mrs. Lefevre.”
12mo, 106 pages.
4. “The Witness of the Spirit. A Sermon on Romans viii. 16.” Dublin:
12mo, 16 pages. This important sermon was written at Newry, in 1767.
Wesley declares that his sentiments on the witness of the Spirit were
the same as they had been from the beginning. “The testimony of the
Spirit,” says he, “is an inward impression on the soul of believers,
whereby the Spirit of God directly testifies to their spirit, that they
are the children of God.” Having established his doctrine, and answered
the objections to it, he concludes with two pungent inferences: “1.
Let none ever presume to rest in any supposed testimony of the Spirit,
which is separate from the fruit of it. 2. Let none rest in any
supposed fruit of the Spirit without the witness.”
5. “Advices with respect to Health. Extracted from a late Author.”
12mo, 218 pages. The late author was Dr. Tissot; the book itself shows
Wesley’s intense anxiety to be of use to the bodies as well as souls
of his fellow creatures. He strongly commends Tissot’s descriptions of
diseases, the fewness and cheapness of his medicines, and his regimen;
but protests against his fondness for bleeding, and for glysters;
against his ointment for the itch, and his vehement recommendation of
Peruvian bark.
