Two volumes of this edition of The Works of John Wesley present
writings that describe and illumine the purpose and practice of the
Methodist Societies, the particular ecclesiastical form in and
through which Wesley's work and thought were embodied.
The present volume deals with the history, nature, and design of
the Societies. This collection of material, though somewhat
miscellaneous in nature, helps to recreate for the modern reader
some sense of the goals of Wesley's Societies, as well as the
structure and practices through which those goals were to be
attained.
Some of the documents published here reflect the basic
principles of the Methodist Societies. Others contain descriptions
by Wesley of the kind of person he expected a Methodist to be. Many
of the writings are, of necessity, controversial. The difficult
question of the relation of the Methodist Societies to the Church
of England emerges at several points. Some of Wesley's responses to
attacks on the Methodist movement, which on occasion included
actual persecution of individual Methodists, are included here,
showing how Wesley appealed to reasonableness and a sense of
justice in his critics and opponents.
