ABSTRACT

One of the spurious treatises ascribed to Dionysius the Areopagite was a favourite book among the Moravianized members. Some extracts were annexed to it in a style of what Wesley calls the same super-essential darkness. Though Wesley had been compelled to separate from the Moravians, there were many circumstances which after the separation had taken place tended greatly to modify the feelings that had produced it. Among the German brethren there were some whom he could not but regard with affection and respect; and in England many persons adhered to them with whom he had been long and intimately connected, and whose integrity he knew.
