Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The last quarter of the seventeenth, and the first decade of the eighteenth, century were needed for building the cathedral church of the metropolis of the world. Though thus a church of two centuries, it is a building of but one generation; for throughout the period of its erection there were but One mas ter-builder, one architect, and one bishop of the diocese. While St. Paul’s was in building there was born in England the ar chitect, master-builder, and bishop of another London ecclesi astiosl edifice – a building of God, a spiritual house not made with hands, whose materials were living stones – who, though he lived nearly across the eighteenth century, did not live long enough to finish the work he began. The Making of Metho dism is a work of the generations for the generations; and, since to-day it probably occupies the position of the first Prot estantism of the world, it is beginning to look as if it might prove the Church of the Centuries.
