"If after all you think fit to dissolve this assembly, do not tell me you desire me to do it, for that will not satisfy my conscience, but send me your positive command in such full and express terms as may absolve me from all guilt and punishment for neglecting this opportunity of doing good to souls, when you and I shall appear before the great and awful tribunal of our Lord Jesus Christ."
~ Susanna Annesley Wesley (letter of February 25, 1712 to her husband Samuel in response to his second request for her to stop holding Bible study/prayer meeting in his absence)
