To the Editor of 'Lloyd's Evening Post' Date: LONDON, March 18, 1763. SIR, A pert, empty, self-sufficient man, who calls himself 'Philodemas' See letter of Dec. 12, 1760, to the Editor of the London Magazine. (I hope not akin to S. Johnson in the Public Ledger), made use of your paper a few days ago to throw abundance of dirt at the people called Methodists. He takes occasion from the idle prophecy of Mr. Bell, with whom the Methodists have nothing to do, as he is not, nor has been for some time, a member of their Society. Had he advanced anything new or any particular charge, it would have deserved a particular answer. But as his letter contains nothing but dull, stale, general slanders, which have been confuted ten times over, it would be abusing the patience of your readers to say any more concerning it. To Bishop Warburton, bringing particular charges, I have given particular answers; I hope to the satisfaction of every reasonable and impartial man. I am, sir, Your humble servant.
