AN EQUAL CHECK TO PHARISAISM AND ANTINOMIANISM

John William Fletcher (1729-1785) was a contemporary of John Wesley, a key interpreter of Wesleyan (or Arminian) theology in the 18th century, and one of Methodism's first great theologians. Of French Hugenot stock, his given name was actually Jean Guillaume de la Flechere. Fletcher was renowned in the Britain of his day for his piety and generosity; when asked if he had any needs, he responded, "...I want nothing but more grace."
