[65] About the same time, Thomas Bell, at Charlestown, wrote as follows: “Mr. Wesley says, the first message of the preachers is to the lost sheep of England. And are there none in America? They have strayed from England into the wild woods here, and they are running wild after this world. They are drinking their wine in bowls, and are jumping and dancing, and serving the devil, in the groves and under the green trees. And are not these lost sheep? And will none of the preachers come here? Where is Mr. Brownfield? Where is John Pawson? Where is Nicholas Manners? Are they living, and will they not come?”--(“The Centenary of Methodism,” published by the Primitive Methodists in Ireland, in 1839, p. 189.) [66] _Methodist Magazine_, 1845, p. 578.

[78] Sellon’s book was not published till 1770, and seems to have been revised by Wesley, who also approved of his dealing with Toplady in a separate pamphlet. Hence the following, addressed to Sellon.
