Note 251 — Chapter IX · SECOND CHECK TO ANTINOMIANISM 1771.
Reading edition
Its title was “A Conversation between Richard Hill, Esq., the Rev. Mr. Madan, and Father Walsh, Superior of a Convent of Benedictine Monks at Paris, held at the same Convent, July 13, 1771, in the presence of Thomas Powis, Esq., and others, relative to some Doctrinal Minutes advanced by the Rev. Mr. John Wesley and others, at a Conference held in London, August 7, 1770. To which are added some Remarks by the Editor.” Fletcher’s name is not mentioned in the pamphlet; but because he chose to refer to it in his “Second Check to Antinomianism,” it is here introduced to the reader’s notice. Hereafter, in order to avoid, as far as possible, a repetition of the history of the Calvinian controversy, as published in the “Life and Times of Wesley,” no publications on the subject will be discussed, except those in which Fletcher was attacked, or which he answered.—L.
