Author Description

Excerpt from Religious Enthusiasm Considered: In Eight Sermons, Preached Before the University of Oxford, in the Year the at the Lecture Founded by John a Canon In offering these Sermons to the Public, I am solicitous to make one previous observation, that thus my object, as far as respects a very material part of them, may be clearly understood. The opinions which are here advanced concerning Mr. Wefley's and Mr. Whitefield's pretensions, are such as have been formed upon a minute and a dispassionate examination both of their lives, and of their writings. Nevcrthelefs, for fear of any mifapprchen-fion, I have Hated the facts themselves upon which these opinions reft. They will be found in the notes which are subjoined to each Sermon; and they arc given as much at length as the nature of this work will allow.
