Original Institution of the
Wesleyan Conference
(In the handwriting of John Wesley)

It is agreed by us whose names are underwritten 

1. That we will not listen or willingly inquire after any ill concerning each other.

2. That if we do hear any ill of each other we will not be forward to believe it.

3. That as soon as possible we will communicate what we hear by speaking or writing to the person concerned.

4. That till we have done this we will not write or speak a syllable of it to any other person whatever.

5. That neither will we mention it after we have done this to any other person.

6. That we will not make any exception to any of these rules unless we think ourselves absolutely obliged in conscience so to do.
