A fragment introducing the fundamental rules devised by John Wesley in the early days of Methodism for his societies. Wesley published these rules in 1743 to make clear the connection between the saving through faith and Christian behaviour and to indicate what was expected of persons as they joined the Methodist Societies.

The 'Rules' went through many editions and the pamphlet continued in print throughout the 18th century.
