An Ancient Sect of Physicians

It was from an ancient sect of physicians, whom we were supposed to resemble in our regular diet and exercise, that we were originally styled Methodists... We were High CHurchmen in the strongest sense. But we acknowledge as brethren all Dissenters, whether they are called Methodist or not.

To Dr. Free, 1758

I positively forbid you or any preacher to be a leader; rather put the most insignificant person in each class to be leader of it.

To John Cricket, 1783

==

It is right to add as much solemnity as we can to the admission of new members.

To John Valton, 1783
