[253] The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Herring, was quite as bitter as the Bishop of London. In a letter dated “January 25, 1756,” he calls Whitefield, “Daniel Burgess redivivus,” and speaks of his “joco-serious addresses.” In the same letter, he says Wesley “is a man of good parts and learning; but a most dark, and saturnine creature, whose pictures may frighten weak people, but will make few converts, except for a day.” (Gentleman’s Magazine, 1777.)
