The Test of Pleasure

By Susannah Wesley

Would you judge of the lawfulness or unlawfulness of pleasure, take this rule: Whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off the relish for spiritual things—in short, whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind, that is sin to you, however innocent in itself.—Susannah Wesley.
