"I renounce John and Charles Wesley"

Fri 11 Feb 1743: I called on poor Joseph Hodges, who after so long withstanding all the wiles of the enemy has been at last induced, by his fatal regard for Mr. Hall, to renounce my brother and me in form. But he had perfectly learned the exercise of his arms. He was so happy, so poor a sinner, that to produce either Scripture or reason against him was mere beating the air.
