Prejudice in Authority
Acts 24:5
For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world…


On the occasion of some visits to Ireland, when Charles Wesley and other preachers were furiously assaulted by the mob, the depositions of the victims were laid before a grand jury. That body, after considering them, came to the following conclusion: "We find and present Charles Wesley to be a person of ill fame, a vagabond, and a common disturber of His Majesty's peace; and we pray he may be transported."

(J. F. B. Tinling, B. A.)
