Excerpt from Methodist Error, or Friendly, Christian Advice: To Those Methodists, Who Indulge in Extravagant Religious Emotions and Bodily Exercises

He has endeavoured so to write as that no sober minded and candid christian may condemn him. He is sure he feels nothing contrary to love and charity, and he has a fond persuasion, that even many of those who have been honestly misled, will not be offended at the manner of his arguments, drawn as they are from scripture and reason, with the laudable motive of bringing them back into the sober path of good old Wesleyan jliethodism.

He entreats all those who are interested in the sub Ject matter of this work, to give it their candid atten tion. If you love truth, fear not'to try it. Truth must bear the strictest scrutiny. Andi alteram partem, (hear both sides) is a wise maxim conse crated by experience. Mark how our church has already sanctioned this sentiment It is desir ed, says the resolution of the first Methodist con ference which ever met,' (in 17444) '6 that we meet as little children who have every thing to learn; that every point may be, examined to the founda tion. Need we fear this? Of overturning our first principles? ﬂay? If they are false the sooner they are overturned the better: If they are true, they will bear the strictest examination. Let us all then pray for a willingness to receive light, to know of every doctrine Whether it be of God. May we their children, neglect rules of action, so sound as these!
