THE POWER OF SPEECH RESTORED

March 31, 1742. — My brother set out for Oxford. In the evening I called upon Ann Calcut. She had been
speechless for some time; but almost as soon as we began to pray, God restored her speech: She then witnessed a
good confession indeed. I expected to see her no more. But from that hour the fever left her; and in a few days she
arose and walked, glorifying God. (WJW1:5)
A CRIPPLE WALKS AGAIN

At Leonberg, in the memory of our fathers, a cripple that could hardly move with crutches, while the dean was
preaching on this very text (Mark 16:17), was in a moment made whole. (John Wesley’s Explanatory Notes on the
Bible, note for Mark 16:17)
