with the paffages in the books themselves, of all which there are copies in Mr Gray's circulating library, except of the fermon on free grace, which he has also commif fioned, and hopes to procure. Thus I have gone through a very difagreable drudgery, in charity to multitudes in danger of being mifled. The debt I owe to my congregation and family, and the defire of leifure for purposes which I hope may better promote the interefts of religion, forbid me to launch further in this fpecies of charity. If more of it fhould be needed, I hope my brethren of different denominations, who think as I do in this matter, will not judge it reasonable that they fhould be altogether eafed, and I only burdened. Had Mr Wesley been fair and open in declaring his fentiments; had his errors been of little importance; or had there forefathers. 3. With pride, bitterness, and bigotry, felf-indulgence was joined: felf-denial was little taught and practifed. "Tis well if fome of them did not defpife or even condemn all felf-denial in things indifferent, as in apparel or food, as nearly allied to Popery. No marvel then that the Spirit of God was grieved." The chief inftruments of the revival in New England thought, that abftaining from the moderate ufe of tabacco was a flender part of religion, if any part of it at all. And they teftified against lay-exhorters, vifions, dreams, impreflions on the imagination, c. by all which, Mr Wefley thinks the work of God in England has been carried on. On what else the above charge is founded I know not, as they were men eminent for their humility, catholic charity, and felf-denial. As to the inftruments of the revival in Scotland, the names of the late Mr M'Lawrin at Glafgow, Robe at Kilfyth, Warden at Calder, Burnside at Kirkintulloch, Mackie then at St Ninians, Warden then at Camfie, not to mention others who yet survive, are a fufficient confutation of it. None of them were Arminians or Epifcopals: but where was the man among them who placed Arminianifm on a level with Deifm, or the church of England with that of Rome? In examining the regard due to Mr Wesley's miracles, it would not be amifs to confult our LOR D's warning, Matth. xxiv. 23.-26. "Then if any man fhall fay unto you, Lo, here is Chrift, or there: "believe it not. For there fall arife falfe chrifts, and falfe "prophets, and fhall fhew great figns and wonders, infomuch "that (if it were poffible) they fhall deceive the very elect. "Behold I have told you before. Wherefore, if they thall fay unto you, Behold, he is in the defert, go not forth: behold, "he is in the fecret chambers, believe it not. been been no appearance of his gaining an influence, which might enable him gradually to introduce them, I would not probably have employed any part of a life, of which fo much is already spent, and the remainder fo uncertain, in writing on this fubject. Inaccuracies of ftyle the candid will forgive; as I only received Mr Kershaw's pamphlet the firft of this month, and different engagements have demanded most of my hours ever fince, and often have permitted me only to write a line or two at a time. As to my facts and reasonings, I am not confcious there is. need of any apology. Edinburgh July 20. 1765. ERRATA & ADDEND A. P. 2. l. 10, 11. for rules against, read sermon answer ed by.
