The Journal Of John Wesley by John Wesley

Introduction

1743. Saturday, January 1. -- Between Doncaster and Epworth I overtook one who immediately accosted me with so many and so impertinent questions that I was quite amazed. In the midst of some of them, concerning my travels and my journey, I interrupted him and asked, |Are you aware that we are on a longer journey; that we are traveling toward eternity?| He replied instantly, |Oh, I find you! I find you! I know where you are! Is not your name Wesley? Tis pity! Tis great pity! Why could not your father's religion serve you? Why must you have anew religion?| I was going to reply, but he cut me short by crying out in triumph, |I am a Christian! I am a Christian! I am a Churchman! I am a Churchman! I am none of your Culamites|; as plainly as he could speak; for he was so drunk he could but just keep his seat. Having then clearly won the day, or as his phrase was, |put them all down,| he began kicking his horse on both sides and rode off as fast as he could.
