Enduring Evil because we have confidence in God


Tuesday, October 1.--I went on to Salisbury. Wednesday, 2. I preached at Whitchurch; Thursday, 3, at Winchester. I now found time to take a view of the cathedral. Here the sight of that bad Cardinal's tomb, whom the sculptor has placed in a posture of prayer, brought to my mind those fine lines of Shakespeare, which he put into the mouth of King Henry the Sixth:

   Lord Cardinal,
   If thou hast any Hope of heaven's grace, 

   Give us a sign. 
   He dies, and makes no sign. 

The Journal of John Wesley
