This article explores the way in which early anti-Methodist literature was utilised as a disguise for heterodoxy. It draws particular attention to Thomas Whiston, an Anglican divine, who published a polemic in 1740, entitled The Important Doctrines of Original Sin, Justification by Faith, and Regeneration. Whiston advertised this tract as an attack on the Methodists and their perceived ally, William Law. However, this paper argues that anti-Methodism was merely a smokescreen which enabled Whiston to profess his loyalty to the established Church, while he advanced various heterodox views. Whiston's controversial opinions included his rejection of the Augustinian doctrine of original sin, along with his subtle show of support for the annihilationist views which his uncle, William Whiston, had recently expressed in The Eternity of Hell Torments (1740). Crucially, such views were repugnant, not only to Methodists, but also to numerous High Churchmen who similarly despised evangelical ‘enthusiasm’.

“激情和幽默的多样性”:早期反方法论文学作为异端的伪装
本文探讨了早期反卫理公会文献被用作异端邪说的伪装的方式。它特别引起了圣公会神学家托马斯·惠斯顿 (Thomas Whiston) 的关注,他于 1740 年发表了一篇题为《原罪、因信称义和重生的重要教义》的论战。惠斯顿将这本小册子宣传为对卫理公会及其盟友威廉·劳的攻击。然而,这篇论文认为,反卫理公会只是一个烟幕,使惠斯顿能够表明他对既定教会的忠诚,同时他提出了各种异端观点。惠斯顿有争议的观点包括他拒绝奥古斯丁的原罪学说,以及他微妙地表示支持他的叔叔威廉·惠斯顿 (William Whiston) 所持的毁灭主义观点。最近在《地狱折磨的永恒》(1740)中表达过。至关重要的是,这种观点不仅令卫理公会教徒反感,而且令无数同样鄙视福音派“热情”的高级教会人士反感。
