Chapter 2 examines the theme of primitive Christianity on the voyage to Georgia. On the Simmonds, Wesley and his fellow missionaries resumed the ascetical and devotional practices characteristic of the Oxford Methodists, including the adoption of religious resolutions, vegetarianism, fasting, and apostolic poverty. Wesley spent considerable time investigating the Eucharistic theology and practice of the High Churchman John Johnson and the extreme sect of Usager Nonjurors. Alongside this, he examined the baptismal doctrine and practice of the primitive church and Church of England, particularly through the work of William Wall, which was influential amongst High Churchmen. Wesley engaged in this intensive study with the aim of restoring the ecclesiology of the primitive church in Georgia as advocated by the Usager Nonjurors. At sea he began to implement his clerical practices, which emphasized the centrality of the sacraments in worship inspired by the example of the early church and Nonjurors.Less

There is a tripartite separation of powers in Ireland and no organ of state may interfere with the functions exclusively ascribed to another. The legislature sets the parameters of punishment through the enactment of laws. The judiciary imposes punishment. The executive becomes involved in exercising clemency. The boundaries may seem clear but they are porous. When capital punishment was under consideration judges, legislators, governors general, and even the president, attempted to influence the executive in ways that ranged from the dubiously acceptable to the constitutionally impermissible. There was no evidence of the executive or legislative branches attempting to influence the judiciary; when judicial advice was sought it was with circumspection, patience, and deference. The cases of some condemned men—Patrick Boylan, Patrick Heffernan, William Wall, and Tomás MacCurtain—are reviewed in this chapter, and the actions of judges, politicians, and bishops on their behalf are analysed.Less
