John Wesely prints a Journal of his time in Savannah
[From 1741 A True and Historical Narrative, edited by Amy]
The trustees ignored the Representation and Wesley left town
THE Original of this was signed by all 44 grand jurors and sent Home. However, we never heard any sign that the Trustees took any notice of it. We hope it will appear evident to every judicious Reader that this Jury was neither bypassed nor intimidated by Causton to be Prejudiced of any Person whatsoever, as Mr. Wesley asserts in his Journal printed at Bristol, 1739. He likewise says there were a professed Atheist and Deist in the group, but for our Parts we know of neither. But a Man of Mr. Wesley's Principles, who makes no Scruple of writing willful Falsehoods (as may be seen by anyone who compares this Narrative with his Journal) and of damning every Person of a contrary Opinion with himself; may, without Hesitation, give People what Appellations come in his Head: However, this put an End to any further Prosecution of Mr. Wesley's Schemes because soon after this, he departed the Colony privately by Night and went to Charles-Town, and from there to England.
