Sermon Review: God's Approbation of His Works by John Wesley

John Milton's Paradise Lost is praised as comparable to the goodness of God's creation.

So, John Wesley concluded the 4 elements: earth, water, air and fire as the building blocks of the cosmos.

An interesting Note, or question:
And even in paradise “Adam slept,” (Gen. 2:21, ) before he sinned: Sleep, therefore, belonged to innocent human nature. Yet I do not apprehend it can be inferred from hence, that there is either darkness or sleep in heaven.

Good ending:
by his apostasy from God, he threw not only himself, but likewise the whole creation, which was intimately connected with him, into disorder, misery, death;

Conclusion: Wesley would not have believed in evolution.
