translate English to German: In 1745 Wesley wrote that he would make any concession which his conscience permitted, in order to live in harmony with the clergy, but could not give up the doctrine of an inward and present salvation by faith alone. He would not stop preaching in private houses and the open air or dissolve the societies or end lay preaching.
Selbst ein hochgebildeter Mann, forderte er auch von seinen Laienpredigern eine überzeugende Bildung.
