Newton’s work itself is readily and freely available: John Newton, A Review of Ecclesiastical History, so far as it concerns the progress, declensions and revivals of evangelical doctrines and practice; with a brief account of the spirit and methods by which vital and experimental religion have been opposed in all ages of the church (London: Edward and Charles Dilly, 1770); on Google Books at https://books.google.com/books?id=RapdAAAAcAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false [accessed 22 APR 2016]; included in John Newton, The Words of the Rev.
