Extract of a letter from Llanycroyes in Wales, dated June
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
dancing 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!"
