Wesley's Big Fear

Mon 15 Mar 1784: Leaving Bristol after preaching at five, in the evening I preached at Stroud, where to my surprise, I found the morning preaching was given up, as also in the neighbouring places. If this be the case while I am alive, what must it be when I am gone? Give up this, and Methodism too will degenerate into a mere sect, only distinguished by some opinions and modes of worship.
