In a chapter on "The Reformational Revivalism of George Whitefield," J. I. Packer records these sentiments by Benjamin Franklin about Whitefield:
In 1747, he wrote: "He is a good man and I love him."
And, after Whitfield's death, Franklin said: "I knew him intimately upwards of 30 years. His integrity, disinterestedness and indefatigable zeal in prosecuting every good work, I have never seen equalled, I shall never see excelled."
