Stringsinger,

1. John Wesley was not a Calvinist. He was an Arminian, an anti-Calvinist: http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/arminian.htm and http://www.theopedia.com/John_Wesley .

2. The last execution of a witch in England occurred more than 20 years before Wesley was born. Wesley was an influential man. Do you have any evidence that he ever used that influence to try to revive the practice?

3. Your quote does not confirm your point. John Wesley opposed giving up "all accounts of witches and apparitions as mere wives' fables". I agree with him on this, since I believe the account of the witch of Endor (I Samuel 28:7-25) is historically correct. I do not advocate the burning of witches. Many Wiccans (most?)similarly oppose giving up "all accounts of witches and apparitions as mere wives' fables". Do you think this means that Wiccans advocate the burning of witches?
