Hindmarsh similarly argues that the early Evangelicals used the New Testament as their principal source, “filtered through the theology of the magisterial Reformation.”8 This lens, or filter, was distinctly different from that used by Wesley. Comparing Wesley’s historical writings to Milner’s provides a glimpse into this distinction. While both men used a theologically informed methodology to produce their various works, Milner traced evangelicalism through church history, highlighting the Reformers. He wrote at the beginning of his history:

It is certain, that from our Saviour’s time to the present, there have ever been persons whose dispositions and lives have been formed by the rules of the New Testament; men, who have been real, not merely nominal Christians; who believed the doctrines of the Gospel, loved them because of their divine excellency, and suffered gladly the loss of all things that they might win Christ and be found in him. It is the history of these men which I propose to write.9
