Wesley. I shall desire several things may be laid together, which I look on as justifying my preaching:—1. I was devoted to the service from my infancy. 2. I was educated thereto, at school and in the university.
Bishop. What university were you of?
Wesley. Oxon.
Bishop. What house?
Wesley. New Inn Hall.
Bishop. What age are you?
Wesley. Twenty-five.
Bishop. No sure, you are not!
Wesley. 3. As a son of the prophets, after I had taken my degrees, I preached in the country, being approved of by judicious, able Christians, ministers, and others. 4. It pleased God to seal my labour with success, in the apparent conversion of several souls.
Bishop. Yea, that is, it may be, to your own way.
