[437] There can be little doubt that "Mr. H——" means Joseph Humphreys, already noticed in a previous chapter. Humphreys says: "The division between Mr. Whitefield and Mr. Wesley was a sore trial to me. I loved them both, but, for a while, thought of joining with neither, because I seemed to think there were extremes on both sides. However, afterwards, I had by much the greatest satisfaction on Mr. Whitefield's side, with whom I openly joined at the beginning of May, 1741. At which time, I first preached in the Bowling-green, at Bristol, for a while, to a congregation distinct from that of Wesley's; afterwards, at the Tabernacle, in London," etc. ("Account of Joseph Humphreys' Experience." Bristol, 1742. p. 42.)

[439] John Wesley was now in Bristol, and Whitefield was in Scotland.

[441] Gillies says, Whitefield "disliked the place fixed upon, because it was so near the Foundery, and looked like erecting altar against altar."
