Note 229 — Chapter VIII · COMMENCEMENT OF THE CALVINIAN CONTROVERSY. 1770 AND 1771.
Reading edition
It is a notable fact that Wesley had spent the three previous days with Fletcher. Hence the following from Wesley’s Journal:—
“1771. Friday, July 26. I went on to Shrewsbury, where Mr. Fletcher met me.—Sunday, 28. I preached at Madeley, morning and afternoon. The church would not near contain the congregation; but the window near the pulpit being open, those without could hear as well as those within.—Monday, 29. I went on to Worcester.”
Probably Wesley took Fletcher’s manuscript away with him.
