Ironic, indeed, but here he also follows Bengel.  In his _Explanatory
Notes_ at 1 John 5.7, Wesley says, "What Bengelius has advanced, both
concerning the transposition of these two verses, and the authority of the
controverted verse, partly in his "Gnomon," and partly in his "Apparatus
Criticus," will abundantly satisfy any impartial person."
