Who can labour with the Methodists

Thur 4 Feb 1742: A clergyman lately come from America, who was at the preaching last night, called upon me, appeared full of good desires, and seemed willing to cast in his lot with us. But I cannot suddenly answer in this matter. I must first know what spirit he is of. For none can labour with us unless he ‘count all things dung and dross that he may win Christ’.
