December, 1836, in full hope of a glorious immortality.—Am. Ed.
[2] He had previously received the following letter from Mr.
Wesley:—
"Near Dublin, June 25, 1789.
"Dear Adam,—You send me good news with regard to the islands.
Who can hurt us, if God is on our side? Trials may come, but they are all
good. I have not been so tried for many years. Every week, and almost
every day, I am bespattered in the public papers. Many are in tears on the
occasion, many terribly frightened, and crying out, 'O, what will the end
be? what will the end be?' Why, glory to God in the highest, and peace
and good will among men. But, meantime, what is to be done? What will
be the most effectual means to stem this furious torrent? I have just
visited the classes, and find still in the society upward of a thousand
members; and, among them, many as deep Christians as any I have met
with in Europe. But who is able to watch over these that they may not be
moved from their steadfastness? I know none more proper than Adam
Clarke and his wife. Indeed, it may seem hard for them to go into a
strange land again. Well, you may come to me, at Leeds, the latter end of'
next month; and if you can show me any that are more proper, I will send
them instead, that God may be glorified in all that is designed by,
"Dear Adam,
"Your affectionate friend and brother,
"J. Wesley."
[3] In a letter to myself, he says, "Lord Glenbervie, who was one of the
commissioners, once wrote to me: 'Dr. Clarke, festina lente: you will
destroy yourself by your labour. Do a little, that you may do it long.' The
same advice I give you. May God bless you, my dear Sammy."
