Because of the denseness of Samuel Wesley's prose (in Latin and English), our episode on his theology has been delayed a month. For now, we have a reading of his anonymous pamphlet, A Letter from a Country Divine..." which goes into his childhood and experience in Dissenter academies.
This is a dull work that it is hard to liven up. I wanted to share it not for entertainment, but because exposure to Samuel Wesley's prose can give a sense of the man that helps us understand his character than secondary descriptions could ever reach.
A note on the recording, as well. The manuscript I read from was quite difficult to decipher at times and so I can thankfully say that all errors are not my own, but also fall on the shoulders of Mr. Wesley and Robert Clavel, the printer.
