Quote - Living a Life of Holiness

"Take this rule: whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off your relish of spiritual things; in short, whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind, that thing is sin to you, however innocent it may be in itself."

Susannah Wesley, found in Adam Clarke, Memoirs of the Wesley Family Collected Principally from Original Documents, ed. George Peck, 2nd ed. (New York: Lane & Tippett, 1848), 332.
