In the pulpit the wickedness of the age (and what age
will ever be without its wickedness?) as among the standing theories topics
of declamation and exclamation, in the point of those divisions
the warmth of whose zeal amidst the coldness that surrounds
them has obtained from for the the name of Methodists. The
exclam declamations of those divines upon the beaten ground
are themselves among the topics of observation, and in this instance not annexed with ridicule and even suspicion to those persons
by whom the same objects are viewed with different eyes.
But with howsoever little effect, and even sincerity, (if their his
sincerity were indeed a matter of dispute) a divine of this description
labours may have been labouring towards the removal of the mischief, he can
not even in a negative way be chargeable as contributing
any thing to the production of the evil which he is thus employed
in combating. He could not, with any prospect of
success, put into the hands of the author of nature a plan
for the removal of the wickedness out of the breast of man wickedness of mankind: whereas there is
not a Judge by whom with very reasonable prospect of success
a plan for the substitution of a suitable pure system of
procedure to the existing impure ones might not be put into
the hands of the legislator, could any such product production be expected
to issue from such a source any such source.
