I want to know one thing – the way to heaven; how to land safe on that happy shore.
God Himself has condescended to teach the way; for this very end He came from heaven.
He hath written it down in a book.
O give me that book!
At any price, give me that book of God!
I have it: here is knowledge enough for me.
Let me be homo unius libri.
Here then I am, far from the busy ways of men.
I sit down alone: only God is here.
In His presence I open, I read His book; for this end, to find the way to heaven.
… And what I thus learn, that I teach.
- John Wesley
