It's time to focus on the Reading.

 I found that most people want to focus on suffering when they discuss Wesley's sermon. However, if you will actually read the context and meaning of the sermon, he's not even speaking on suffering. He's speaking on liberty and what liberty actually is. While I don't understand fully what liberty is, I do understand what it is not. Liberty is not freedom from suffering, Wesley is painting a bigger picture that we are causing our own suffering because of our misinterpretation of liberty. So here are a few direct quotes of what the sermon actually says, maybe you should actually read it and find the actual meaning instead of shouting out things from thin air.

"Grievous enough is this calamity, which multitudes every day suffer. But I do not know whether many more do not labour under a still more grievous calamity. It is a great affliction to be deprived of bread; but it is a still greater to be deprived of our senses. And this is the case with thousands upon thousands of our countrymen at this day. Wide-spread poverty I have seen in several years ago. But so widespread a lunacy I never saw, nor, I believe the oldest man alive. Thousands of plain, honest people throughout the land are driven utterly out of their senses, by means of the poison which is so diligently spread through every city and town in the kingdom. They are screaming out for liberty while they have it in their hands, while they actually possess it; and to so great an extent, that the like is not known in any other nation under heaven; whether we mean civil liberty, a liberty of enjoying all our legal property, - or religious liberty, a liberty of worshiping God according to the dictates of our own conscience. therefore all those who are either passionately or dolefully crying out, "Bondage! Slavery!" while there is no more danger of any such thing, than there is of the sky falling upon their head, are utterly distracted; their reason is gone; their intellects are quite confounded. Indeed, many of these have lately recovered their senses; yet are there multitudes still remaining, who are in this respect as perfectly mad as any of the inhabitants of Bedlam"

"Real liberty, meantime, is trampled underfoot, and is lost in anarchy and confusion."

Because everyone got so Biblical for some reason, I guess I will too. I'll take my liberty(haha) to quote Proverbs 18:2 "A fool does not delight in understanding, but only wants to show off his opinions."
Amen.
