Note 139 — REV. JOHN GAMBOLD, M.A., THE MORAVIAN BISHOP. (continued 2)
Reading edition
It is a somewhat curious coincidence, that of the Oxford Methodists, Whitefield died in 1770, Gambold in 1771, Ingham in 1772, and Clayton in 1773. At least three of these also died in the month of September. The two Wesleys were in the midst of the Calvinian controversy,—the hottest of their lives.
