12. Not many years passed, before _William Cudworth_ and _James Relly_ separated from Mr. _Whitefield_. These were properly _Antinomians_, absolute, avowed enemies to the law of God, which they never preached or professed to preach, but termed all _legalists_ who did. With them, _preaching the law_ was an abomination. They had _nothing to do_ with the law. They would _preach Christ_, as they called it; but without one word either of holiness or good works. Yet these were still denominated _Methodists_, although differing from Mr. _Whitefield_, both in judgment and practice, abundantly more than Mr. _Whitefield_ did from Mr. _Wesley_. 13. In the mean time, Mr. _Venn_ and Mr. _Romaine_ began to be spoken of: and not long after, Mr. _Madan_ and Mr. _Berridge_, with a few other clergymen, who, although they had no connexion with each other, yet preaching _salvation by faith_, and endeavouring to live accordingly, to be _Bible Christians_, were soon included in the general name of _Methodists_. And so indeed were all others who preached _salvation by faith_, and appeared more _serious_ than their neighbours. Some of these were quite _regular_ in their manner of preaching: some were quite _irregular_ (though not by choice; but necessity was laid upon them; they must preach _irregularly_, or not at all:) and others were between both; regular in _most_, though not in _all_ particulars. 14. In 1762, _George Bell_, and a few other persons, began to speak great words. In the latter end of the year, they foretold, that the world would be at an end on the 28th of _February_. Mr. _Wesley_, with whom they were then connected, withstood them both in public and private. This they would not endure: so, in _January_ and _February_, 1763, they separated from him. Soon after Mr. _Maxfield_, one of Mr. _Wesley_’s preachers and several of the people left Mr. _Wesley_: but still Mr. _Maxfield_, and his adherents, go under the general name of _Methodists_. 15. At present, those who remain with Mr. _Wesley_, are mostly _church_ of _England_ men. They love her articles, her homilies, her liturgy, her discipline, and unwillingly vary from it in any instance. Meantime, all who preach among them declare, _We are all by nature children of wrath_. But _by grace we are saved through faith_: saved both from the guilt and from the power of sin. They endeavour to _live_ according to what they preach, to be plain, _Bible-Christians_. And they meet together at convenient times, to encourage one another therein. They tenderly love many that are _Calvinists_, though they do not love their opinions. Yea, they love the _Antinomians_ themselves; but it is with a love of compassion only. For they hate their doctrines with a perfect hatred; they abhor them as they do hell-fire: being convinced nothing can so effectually destroy all faith, all holiness, and all good works.
