Itincludedhisown "NotesontheNewTestament,"the"Imitationof Christ,"theHomiliesof Macarius,the"Spiritual LettersofBrotherLawrence"andof"St.Johnof theCross,"the"Thoughts ofPascal,"andthe"SpiritualGuideofMichaelde Molinos."

Everybooklisted,save hisown"Notes,"waswrittenbyaCatholicwhowould

Butothersclaimedthat the"innerlight"ledthem toquiteotherconclusions, andthattheypreferredthe testimonyoftheSpirit withintheirsoulstothe leadershipof"BlindJohn." Insuchcases,Wesleywas reducedtodeclaringthem victimsoffeeling,imagination,andself-deception;a chargewhichtheypromptly turnedagainsthimself.

Thathefeltthehopelessnessofthepositionisindicatedbyhiswordsin"PrefacetoStandardSermons." "Somemaysaythat1have mistakenthewaymyself...

ThePopeentrustedlawmakerstotheMotherof Godsothattheymaypromotelawsinconformity withdivineprecepts.He invokedthehelpofMary thatpeoplesmaypractise thoseChristianvirtuesthat alwaysmakenationshappy, andthatthosewhohave lefttheirFather'shouse mayfindthewaytoreturn toit

Forhim,therefore,the "newbirth"wasevidenceof repentanceofpost-baptismalsin,andofadewstart inthespirituallifewhich hadalreadybeenreceived. Buthegavelittlethoughtto theology,andsopreached thenecessityofa"new birth"withoutqualification thathisownfollowersinterpreteditastakingthe placeofbaptism,andprovidingtheverybeginnings ofthelifeofgracewithin thesoul.

Thestrangethingisthat Wesleyknewthis,andpermittedit,makingnoeffort tocorrectmisunderstandings,thoughthemisconceptionwasnotinaccordance withhisownconvictions. Thisisoneofthemany mysteriesofinconsistency inWesleywhichdefysolution.

The"innerlight"towhichWesleyappealedwas nosubstitutefortheabidingpresenceoftheHoly SpiritintheauthoritativeteachingChurchestablished byChrist. haveinsistedonthenecessityofbelongingtothe CatholicChurchandbeing inunionwithRome!

ButWesleywasinterested,notintheFaiththey professed,butonlyintheir rulesforspirituallivingand forprogressinvirtue.Doctrinally,hehimselfwas evervague,uncertain,and inconsistent;andanything butareliableguidetothe beliefsrequiredofChristians.

Wesleycertainlyaccepted thedoctrinethat"Goo's WrittenWordistheonly andsufficientrulebothof faithandpractice,"which allMethodistsprofess.But hedenounced"privateinterpretation"asaseedplot ofendlesserrors.

Inhis"Journal,"(Vol.

IV)hewrote:"Thatyou neednotanymantoteach

anditisverypossiblethat Ihave."

Absorbedbythoughtsof individualsalvation,and ofthenecessityofconversion,JohnWesleydevoted littleattentiontothegreat dogmaticaffirmationsabout God,theHolyTrinity,and theDivinityofChrist.

Thoseheneverdenied,of course.Hetookthemfor granted.Butconversion impliesrepentanceofsins, andthesubjectofsinassumedgreatimportancein hiseyes.

Hisstarting-pointwas fromtheNinthoftheAnglican"ArticlesofReligion," whichdeclaredthat"OriginalSin isthefaultand corruptionofthenatureof everymanthatnaturallyis engenderedoftheoffspring ofAdam."

ForWesley,the"New Birth"wastheexperience ofconversion,shattering "inwardsin,"andimmediatelyjustifyingthesoulbeforeGod.Believinginthe necessityofsuchaninstant regeneration,heurgently andalmostdesperately soughtinhisrevivalmeetingstoshockhishearers intodecision,andsurrender tothegraceofGod.

Andtheveryforceofhis personalityworkedwondersinthemostunexpectedplaces.Butinlaterlife,as HenryBett,inhisbook "TheSpiritofMethodism," (p.36),writes,he"frankly confessedthathewas wronginhisearlyinsistenceupontwothings-the necessityandsuddennessof theexperience;andheadmittedboththatitwasnot possessedbysome,though itwastheprivilegeofall; andalsothattheexperience mightcomegradually."

Asregardstheexplanationofthe"newbirth," Wesleydidnotregarditas

Butitisnotsurprising thatmodernMethodists havecometoregardbaptism,notaseffectingregeneration,butmerelyasymbolof"innerconversion." Infantbaptismisforthem nomorethana"dedication service,"symbolisingthe gracewhichwillbegiven tothechildinlaterlife afterhavingbeenconsciouslyconvertedtoChrist.

ThisoutstandingprivilegeofMaryflowsfrom herDivineMotherhood. WhenMarysaidthatfamous"Fiat"shebecame notonlytheMotherofGod butalsothemotherofthe crucifiedJesus.Aswellas holdingthehelplessBabe shewasalsotoholdthe helplesscorpseofherSon, inherarms.

ShewillknewtheScripturesconcerningthesufferingsoftheSaviourand shewasremindedofher partinHissufferingsonly fortydaysafterHisbirth. "Thineownsoulasword shallpierce."Whenthose twoSacredHeartsentered intosocloseaunionitfollowedthatMaryaswellas containingthefulnessof grace,shouldalsobea meansofgivingit.
