Mary Welch, aged eleven days, was baptized according to the custom of the first church, and the rule of the Church of England, by immersion. The child was ill then, but recovered from that hour.

John Wesley
About John Wesley
John Wesley was born in Epworth, 23 miles (37 km) northwest of Lincoln, the son of Samuel Wesley, a graduate of Oxford, and a minister of the Church of England and Susanna Annesley, twenty-fourth child of Dr. Samuel Annesley. In 1696 Samuel Wesley was appointed rector of Epworth, where John, their fifteenth child (of 19), was born.
At the age of six, John was rescued from the burning rectory. This escape made a deep impression on his mind; and he spoke of himself as a "brand plucked from the burning."
In 1713 John was admitted to the Charterhouse School, London. In 1720, Wesley entered Christ Church, Oxford, and received his Master of Arts in 1727. He was ordained deacon in 1725 and elected fellow of Lincoln College in the following year. He was his father's curate for two years, and then returned to Oxford to fulfill his functions as fellow.
John left for Savannah, Georgia in 1735, several months after the death of his father. This is John's journal starting with his voyage to Georgia.

Oh, my!
Thank you, Kind Sir, for again visiting my cyber-home. I appreciate the time you took in doing so, and the humor you shared. Your kind thoughts and words of encouragement are a blessing to me.
God bless you!
John, would you say the act of baptism conveyed healing grace to that child?
I have to add my words of gratitude to those of Vicki for visiting my humble cyber-dwelling. I'm sorry it has taken me too long to properly return the favor; the life of a seminarian in the colonies is a brutal one!
'Twas grace indeed. God's most powerful and pre-existing grace that will woo unto salvation.
