20. Will you object to such a religion as this, that it is not reasonable? Is it not reasonable then to love God? Hath he not given you life, and breath, and all things? Does he not continue his love to you, filling your heart with food and gladness? What have you which you have not received of him? And does not love demand a return of love? Whether, therefore, you do love God or no, you cannot but own it is reasonable to do so; nay, seeing he is the Parent of all good, to love him with all your heart.
"An Earnest Appeal to Men of Reason and Religion"
The Rev. John Wesley - 1744
