There are also Hymns added to the collection of Prayers for Children and a tiny delightful booklet called GRACES perfect to make this book complete.

Book excerpt: This 1733 publication, John Wesley's first, arose out of his own devotional life. Originally, it was a collection of prayers compiled for his pupils and colleagues at Oxford. The content was drawn from a popular Anglican devotional manual first published twelve years earlier (1721), The True Church of England Man's Companion in the Closet; or, A Complete Manual of Private Devotion.The book, compiled by Nathaniel Spinckes, included prayers for morning and evening every day of the week, beginning with Sunday. Wesley not only revised the prayer which he reprinted from Spinckes, but assigned them to different days and times. He used other sources in addition to Spinckes, and may have added original prayers of his own.The preface is clearly Wesley's own, which he revised after sharing a draft with his father. Wesley also added a list of "particular questions" for self-examination before evening prayer each day and a briefer series of "general questions" for use every morning prefixed to the prayers for Monday. Here Wesley was following a practice of Western spiritual advisers from Robert Nelson and others in the 17th century back to Ignatius of Loyola in the 16th century.When Wesley revised the book for its fifth edition in 1740, he omitted the questions for self-examination and made the volume more suitable for general use by substituting "family" for "college" in several places. The elimination of the questions may have been in response to brother Samuel Wesley's criticism that the emphasis on self-examination was "mystic nonsense." Editions after 1755, including that in Wesley's collected works, restored the questions. Along the way, hymns were also added making later editions a popular book of worship for Methodist families and societies.

Download or read book The Works of John Wesley Volume 2 written by Wesley, John and published by Delmarva Publications, Inc.. This book was released on with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The works of John Wesley have been treasured for many years, and we are pleased to offer this 141-sermon set in three volumes. These sermons constitute the essential points of his beliefs. Many were published by Wesley himself while others were recovered from his manuscripts after his death. While reading these, you will find that his writings are never dry but maintain a vigor of life about them while maintaining a scriptural balance. He strived to reach the everyday man and bring him a living gospel, and this intent is spread throughout his sermons.While Wesley had originally intended to publish a three-volume series, he went on to add a fourth. He desired to reach a larger audience with these printed works than he could with his daily sermons in person, and there was also a particular demand for them. The four books are comprised of approximately 44 sermons and are contained in volume I of this printing. In 1746, he had published the first book of this projected work, entitled Sermons on Several Occasions. He later went on to add another nine sermons to the series. The subsequent books were released in 1748, 1750, and 1760, respectively. It is important to note that these are by no means the whole of Wesley's written sermons; they were merely selected by him for the Christian reader as a kind of standard for his belief of many of the principal points of Christian doctrine, and have since become known as the standard sermons.In his preface to volume I, Wesley himself wrote, "I have accordingly set down in the following sermons what I find in the Bible concerning the way to heaven; with a view to distinguish this way of God from all those which are the inventions of men. I have endeavored to describe the true, the scriptural, experimental religion, so as to omit nothing which is a real part thereof, and to add nothing thereto which is not." (Sermons on Several Occasions, Volume I, Preface)For fifty years, Wesley had also written numerous sermons and published them in local magazines, many of which were printed in cities across England such as London, Bristol, Dublin, and Newcastle upon Tyne. With these sermons being placed in the hands of so many printers, it was inevitable that they would be printed in a combined publication, which was often the case. Because of this, in his advancing age, Wesley decided that he should undertake a reprinting of all of his works, enabling him to revise all of his works carefully and also to correct any errors that had arisen.In his collected works he elected to print his sermons, commentaries, notes, journals, and more, producing an impressive thirty-two duodecimo volumes, the first being published in 1771 and the last in 1774. In the set of sermons that comprised those of the "model deed" included nine additional lectures that were not previously published, bringing the total to 53. These 53 lectures have are in the first volume of this series.
