Excerpt from The Life of Mrs. Mary Fletcher: Consort and Relict of the Rev. John Fletcher, Vicar of Madeley, Salop A short time after I was appointed to the Birmingham district, the papers of the late Mrs. Fletcher were put into my hands. I was informed at the same time, that the venerable person whose life was recorded in them, had mentioned me as one that she wished should prepare and publish her papers; and that an application to that effect would have been made to me before that time, but that the distance of my former appointment had prevented it, Mrs. Fletcher having laid an injunction on her friend, to whom, by will, she had committed them, not to give them absolutely into the hands of any person whatsoever. I examined those papers with no common interest. They gave an account not only of the writers own life, but involved, in some respects, that of her admirable husband. I was certain that those records were desired, and would be received, by the most pious in these kingdoms, not as a common religious biography, but as the record of an uncommon work of God; and that they would not be expected to fall short of any account which has come forth in that great revival of Scriptural Christianity in our day, concerning which we have so often been constrained to say, What hath God wrought? I have often wished to see such a display of that work as would show its genuine nature and fruits, free from the colouring of those writers who were not directly concerned in it; or of those who might be so anxious about its public reputation, as to forget, that the circumcision of the heart is justified only by those children of the light and of the day who prove its power, and cry, Abba, Father, by the Spirit of adoption; and whose praise is not of men, but of God. It is much to be desired also to see such an account made living and powerful by being personified; - to see an individual thus walking worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God. A general history of this work, including all the important circumstances, has been already published, especially in the journals of the Rev. Mr. John Wesley, the father of Methodism, so called. In these we see, as in the Gospel, the grain of mustard seed, increasing and becoming a great tree, to tho astonishment of those who witnessed its small beginning, - who "saw the cloud arise little as a human hand."

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1179665635/?tag=2022091-20
Moore was born in a suburb of Dublin and apprenticed to a wood carver.
Impressed by the preaching of John Wesley, he frequented the Methodist meetings and joined a class in Dublin in 1777. He served from 1784 to 1786 as assistant traveling companion and amanuensis to Wesley, and again from 1788 to 1790. Wesley made him one of his literary executors and appointed him to be, after his death, one of the 12 ministers to regulate the services of City Road Chapel.
He was president of the Wesleyan Conference in 1804 and 1823.
