"l met those of our society who had votes in
the ensuing election, and advised them, 1 . To
vote, without fee or reward, for the person they
judged most worthy: 2. To speak no evil of the
person they voted against: And, 3. To take care
their spirits were not sharpened against those
that voted on the other side."
— John Wesley, October 6, 1774
