Thomas Coke was, in fact, largely regarded as Wesley's successor and had been ordained by Wesley as superintendent for the newly independent American field, but some called him bishop. He later traveled to establish Methodist missions around the world.
Coke's publications included a Commentary of the Bible (1807), A History of the West Indies (3 volumes, 1808–11), History of the Bible, Six Letters in Defence of the Doctrine of Justification by Faith, Four Discourses on the Duties of a Minister, and a Preacher's Manual, as well as, jointly with collaborators including Henry Moore, a Life of Wesley (1792).
