John Wesley — "I was much disgusted at the way in which the people sing here. They bawl as loud…"

I was much disgusted at the way in which the people sing here. They bawl as loud as they can, but it is without any taste or judgment. They have no notion of singing in tune, or time, or harmony; but only of making a great noise, which is still more disagreeable because it is generally a dull, heavy, stupid sound.
John Wesley — John Wesley Early Modern · Founder of Methodism
