'Not long ater this he brought from Bristol Dr Whitehead's Life of Mr Wesley, 2 vols. 8vo. I having expressed a wish to see in what state of mind Mr Wesley died. After having satisfied myself on that head, I returned the set of books, as I had no intention to read any more of the work, but the account of his death.'

'I again took up Dr Whitehead's Life of Mr Wesley, and as I saw by the title-page that it contained an account of Mr Wesley's ancestors and relations, the life of Mr Charles Wesley, (whom I had often heard preach) and a history of Methodism, I requested Mrs L to help me in reading it through. // To describe the conflict, and the difference commotions which passed in my mind while we were reading this excellent work is impossible. I have been instructed, delighted, much confounded, and troubled.'
