 Historical Preface-Discipline of the Primitive Methodist Church in the U.S.A.
Two men, Hugh Bourne and William Clowes, local preachers in the Wesleyan Church, became zealous, consecrated men of God, interested in seeing their fellow workers converted and brought to Christ.
So enthused were Bourne and Clowes that they arranged for “a whole day’s meeting” on Mow Cop, a rough rugged mountain situated on the border between Staffordshire and Cheshire.
Their answer to their objectors was, “It is better to obey God than man.” Both Hugh Bourne and William Clowes waited patiently for two years for reinstatement in the Wesleyan Church.
