A sermon on the death of the Rev. Mr. George Whitefield. : Preached at the chapel in Tottenham-court-road, and at the tabernacle near Moorfields, on Sunday, November 18, 1770
Wesley, John, 1703-1791
Summary: "According to Whitefield’s wishes, his long-time friend and fellow founder of Methodism, John Wesley, preached this funeral sermon at both of Whitefield’s London chapels. While Whitefield’s Calvinist colleagues understandably objected to Wesley’s omission of his Calvinism, it was nonetheless a heartfelt tribute to his dear friend and fellow evangelist. The sermon consists of three parts: (1) a brief biography; (2) an examination of Whitefield’s character; and (3) an exhortation to imitate his catholic spirit and keep close to his “grand doctrines” of the new birth and justification by faith. "
Bound with: "An elegy on the late Reverend George Whitefield, M.A. who died September 30, 1770, in the 56th year of his age." by Charles Wesley (Bristol : Printed by William Pine ..., 1771.)
