    In the letter, Wesley defends himself from various criticisms. In response to charges that he assumed too much in writing on 'Philosophy and Physic' and that he was meddling with these subjects, he observes that he published his Primitive Physic and Electricity Made Plain and Useful with the intention of doing 'as much good as I can' (171).
