Note 270 — Chapter XI · “FOURTH CHECK TO ANTINOMIANISM.” 1772.

The semi-infidel Monthly Review, which could hardly exist without sneering at evangelical religion, remarked concerning this Fourth Check to Antinomianism:—

“Mr. Fletcher continues to push the Calvinists with unremitting vigour. He here encounters two formidable adversaries at once. The veteran Wesley, who now, perhaps, thinks it time to retire from the well-fought field, is fortunate in having so zealous an auxiliary.” (Monthly Review, 1773, p. 240.)
