If you have no end in view but the bringing souls to God,—this will cure almost every thing. Strive to bring some home in every sermon. God will be with you, and he will bless you. He will give you the desire of your heart. Be neat and clean in all your clothes; never foppish or fine. Have every thing consistent with your Lord Jesus. Set him before you at all times. Never be ceremonious; yet learn a good address. Be courteous, be kind, never gloomy, never light or trifling. O my brother, live for eternity; the Lord is at hand. Be ready every moment for glory; ever as willing to leave this earth, as to go to sleep.
William Bramwell — Letter XXXI, to Mr. J. Robinson, Sunderland, April 15, 1808, in James Sigston, Memoir of the Life and Ministry of Mr. William Bramwell, Lately an Itinerant Methodist Preacher, 3rd American ed. (New York: J. Emory and B. Waugh, for the Methodist Episcopal Church, 1830), p. 155
