A Brief Account of the Rise and Progress of the People Called Quakers
Penn, William
Society of Friends
To conclude; behold the testimony and doctrine of the people called
Quakers; behold their practice and discipline; and behold the blessed man
and men, at least many of them, that were sent of God in this excellent
work and service; all which is more particularly expressed in the annals
of that man of God, which I do heartily recommend to my reader's most
serious perusal; and beseech Almighty God, that his blessing may go along
with both, to the convincement of many, as yet strangers to this holy
dispensation, and also to the edification of God's church in general: who
for his manifold and repeated mercies and blessings to his people, in
this day of his great love, is worthy ever to have the glory, honour,
thanksgiving, and renown; and be it rendered and ascribed, with fear and
reverence, through him in whom he is well pleased, his beloved Son and
Lamb, our light and life, that sits with him upon the throne, world
without end. Amen.
Says one that God has long since mercifully favoured with his fatherly
visitation, and who was not disobedient to the heavenly vision and call;
to whom the way of truth is more lovely and precious than ever, and that
knowing the beauty and benefit of it above all worldly treasures, has
chosen it for his chiefest joy, and therefore recommends it to thy love
and choice, because he is with great sincerity and affection,
Thy soul's friend,
WILLIAM PENN.
