Excerpt from A Portraiture of Methodism: Being an Impartial View of the Rise, Progress, Doctrines, Discipline, and Manners of the Wesleyan Methodists

It has ever been my object to state, rather than to controvert or defend, the opinions and practices of the Methodists and here in, I conceive, in part, lies the merit of my book above others who have attempted the same subject.

The Methodists have certain] y met with unmerited abuse from various quarters, and on various occasions, yet I have not thought it particularly necessary to notice those se veral attacks, as they have already met with due censure from Mr. Benson and others. I may, nevertheless, be here permitted to te mark on one or two instances of this nature.

On the detraction and disapprobation of Methodists and Dissenters in general.
