Wesley published his sermon anyway. Whitefield was one of many who responded.

Prevenient grace (or preceding grace or enabling grace) is a Christian theological concept that refers to the grace of God in a person's life which precedes and prepares to conversion. The concept was first developed by Augustine of Hippo (354–430), was affirmed by the Second Council of Orange (529) and has become part of Catholic theology.
Works of piety", in Methodism, are certain spiritual disciplines that along with the "works of mercy", serve as a means of grace, [1] in addition to being manifestations of growing in grace and of having received Christian perfection (entire sanctification). [2] [3] All Methodist Christians, laity and ordained, are expected to employ them. [4]
John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, taught that there were two distinct phases in the Christian experience. [3] In the first work of grace, the new birth, the believer receives forgiveness and becomes a Christian. [4] During the second work of grace, entire sanctification, the believer is purified and made holy. [4]
The Holiness movement traces their roots back to John Wesley, Charles Wesley, John Fletcher, and the Methodists of the 18th century. The Methodists of the 19th century continued the interest in Christian holiness that had been started by their founder, John Wesley in England . [ 47 ]
Methodist churches generally recognize sacraments to be a means of grace. [99] John Wesley held that God also imparted grace by other established means such as public and private prayer, Scripture reading, study and preaching, public worship, and fasting; these constitute the works of piety. [100]
