Extract of a letter from Llanycreyes in Wales, dated July
13.
There is here what some call a great reformation in religion
among the Methodists; but the case is really this: They
have a sort of rustic dance in their public worship, which
they call religious dancing, in imitation of David's dance
before the ark. Some of them strip off their cloaths,
crying out, Hosannah, &c. in imitation of those that
attended our saviour when he rode into Jerusalem. They call
this the glory of the latter day; and when any person speaks
to them of their extravagance, the answer they give is, 'You
have the mark of the enemy in your forehead.' Such is the
delusion and uncharitableness of this people!
