| Bust of John Wesley, Epworth |
I dislike your speaking of yourselves as though you were the only {ones} who know and taught the Gospel; ...But what I most dislike is your littleness of love...your want of union...your want of meekness, gentleness, long suffering; your impatience of contradiction; your counting every {person} your enemy that reproves or admonishes you in love; your bigotry and narrowness of spirit, loving in a manner only those that love you...your censoriousness... of all who do not agree with you; in a word, your divisive spirit. ~ John Wesley (letter to the perfectionists in London, November 2, 1762)
