"...Wesley, though his own preaching was mild and quiet in comparison to the scenery-chewing Whitfield, believed in the need for powerful emotional experiences, particular moments in life when God gave the grace to live perfectly-- which in Wesley's vocabulary meant without conscious, intentional sin-- and exhorted his listeners to seek them out and treasure them."-- Alan Jacobs, The Book of Common Prayer: A Biography, pp.110-111.
