mouth [Psalms 137:6] & my right hand forget her cunning
when I will not take a Wesleanyan by the hand
& call him Brother. A church Minister sayes
My Lord & Wesleyan friends, I wish you
while looking at the Church of England to cover
her imperfections with the cloke of charity
& while observing the Church of Scotland to
do the same & I would readily cover the impe[r]
perfections of the Wesleyan Society but I know
not whare they are, I would not hesitate to cove[r]
the imperfections of the Church of Rome was int
in my power but they are all Scarlet. A
Wesleyan arose & viz Mtr Robert Young of
the Queen street circuit ^chapel^ & Says. We are
highly favored on this occasion by having for
our chairman the Lord Mayer of London the
chief magestrate of the most renowned city in the
world & My Lordship has like Cesar submited
himself to the worship & accknowledgement of
Christ, in this condesention, but when rightly
considered is not my Lordship as highly honord in
presiding over this vast body of respectable citizens
this evening who have met together on so important
an occasion as he would be to reign upon a
Throne for the Angel in heaven honour evry
effort that is made on earth for the spread of the
gospel & the saving of the souls of men, mMy
Lord & christian friends, how did the Ancient
Apostles prevail, they were illiterate & unlearned
men, they had neither money, nor influence thei[r]
doctrins were unpopular, yet they esstablished
the gospel, Maintained the Doctrin of Christ &
caused the Nations to tremble, yet this was all by
the power of God & not of man. My Lord our
circumstances are different from thers, we
have influence & wealth, we have splended
chapels & respectable bodies, & our numbers are
many, yet If God is not with us we cannot
prevail." (I shouted Amen) My Lord & christian

the object o[f] this meeting viz the spirit of God
within [us W] us & a collection of money witho[ut]
sufficient to pay off our church Deabt & send
missionaries abroad &c. thus speach after
