The works of the Rev. John Wesley, Vol. 06 (of 32)

This volume presents a mid‑18th‑century sermon that invites listeners to pause each day at the “ninth hour” for a focused moment of prayer and surrender. The speaker argues that true wisdom, holiness, and justice arise only when we align our actions with the divine will, describing virtue as conformity to that will and vice as its rejection. Throughout, the language is enriched by the transcriber’s careful notes—standardized punctuation, expanded abbreviations, and helpful footnotes—that make the historic text clear and approachable for modern ears.

The passage offers practical spiritual counsel, urging a cheerful acceptance of every circumstance as part of God’s providence. It frames gratitude not merely as patience but as an active, heartfelt response to the “wise physician” of divine care. Listeners will hear a blend of theological reflection and everyday encouragement, presented in a style that retains its original cadence while remaining intelligible thanks to the thoughtful editorial work.
