  This wooden box hose printing press, once used by Benjamin Franklin, was typical of those used by English printers in the eighteenth century.
  What a condition you are in! The sentence is passed; you are condemned to die; and this sentence is to be executed shortly! You have no way to escape; these fetters, these walls, these gates and bars, these keepers, cut off all hope. Therefore, die you must. But must you die like a beast, without thinking what it is to die?.. But, O, how will you stand before God; the great, the holy, the just, the terrible God? Is it not his own word, "Without holiness no man shall see the Lord?"... How then can you escape the damnation of hell—the lake of fire burning with brimstone, "where the worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched?" You can never redeem your own soul; you cannot atone for the sins that are past.... One thing is needful: "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved!"... Trust him alone; love him alone; fear him alone; and cleave to him alone, till he shall say to you (as to the dying malefactor of old), "This day shalt thou be with me in paradise."

conversations.value: The term "Methodist" had a previous history that indicated an Arminian way of thinking as well as a methodical way of living. Wesley's accent on "faith working through love" necessitated a synthesis of belief and action. He is often seen as a pragmatic leader who could perceive and respond to needs. He viewed himself as a person who was conscious of providential direction. Perhaps there is no contradiction between the two views.
  Wesley's own self-understanding of his calling, seldom constrained by humility, was visibly stamped upon his long and energetic life, and was reflected in the inscription carved onto his tombstone behind City Road Chapel:
  Cooke, Mary, MS. Eliza Cooke, Mary Cooke Clarke, Adam Clarke, and John Wesley Correspondence, Bridwell Library, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX.
