If, as your professed principle directs, -you come to him and to his light in your consciences, he will 'show you how, and where you stand; and remember, that if you do not come to him, as your living and ever-present teacher, dwelling, and speak ing to you, in your hearts, you do not come to that which, as it forms the glory, so it forms the life of your profession of religion. Wherein do you differ from others? Surely in nothing but in eccentricity, it might justly be replied, if this were not your obvious distinction - that, whilst the greater part of religious professors are but gazing at the letter which describes it, you seek after, and endeavour to walk by the powerful, internal guidance of the thing itself.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Address to the Society of Friends The primitive believers were a simple and humble-minded people, whose hearts were exercised to know and to follow the direction of their Holy Leader ln the way of the cross, by surrendering all their crowns of earthly wisdom, riches, and pride, at the feet of Jesus, that all dominion, power, and praise, might be ascribed unto him, and as they kept humble, de pendent, and faithful, they were exalted' in due time, and made instruments in his holy hand for the promotion and spread of the Gospel power, by which they had been raised up out of the grave and bondage of sin, into the glorious libe1ty of the sons of God. Having tasted and seen for themselves of the goodness and mercy of God, in Christ Jesus, their Saviour, ln bringing them out of darkness into his marvellous light, they became concerned? For others, that their feet might be' turned into the same holy and living way of righteousness and peace; and, havmg been taught in the school of Christ, they were of that Spirit which taketh its kingdom by entreaty, and not by force. They were an innocent and unofl'ending people before the Lord, whom they endeavored to serve in all things, laying aside their own wills and wisdom, as carnal weapons, with which they refused to fight, lest they should be overcome by their enemies. The salvation of the soul was the end and aim of theirlives, and this they oftenisought at the1 peril, and even the sacrifice, of every earthly good. Jesus Christ, of Nazareth, who came to seek and to save that which was lost by the sacrifice 'of his own precious life, ' was their pattern, and his Spirit their direction, government, and support, in which they trusted with the dependence and confidence of little children, knowing and acknowledging that of themselves they could do nothing. Their worship was in spirit and m truth, for they Sat at the feet of Jesus, even as Mary did, and rejoiced and wondered at his gracious Words, for their attention was turned inward, where they communed with their own hearts, and were still, so that his voice could be heard preaching 1n them, the acceptable year of the Lord.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of the Society of Friends in America, Vol. 1 It is true, that no inconsiderable portions of the valuable histories both of Sewel and Gough, have reference to the proceedings of Friends in America. The details, however, which these furnish are confined principally to the sufferings of some of their early members or ministers in New England, and to transactions of the Society within the limits of Penn sylvania and the Jerseys. The present work embraces a much wider field, and aims to exhibit a distinct history of each individual Yearly Meeting of Friends in America from its rise down to a period comparatively recent; The new and unpublished materials relating to the Society of Friends in the western world, which, under many favour able circumstances the writer has been enabled to collect from various sources on both sides of the Atlantic, together with an easy access to numerous printed works of ancient date and of great scarcity, have placed within his reach the means of effecting the object to a much larger extent than he could have anticipated. And here he desires to acknow ledge the kind and valuable assistance which he has derived both from meetings and individuals, in the readiness with which they have allowed him access to mss., including some. Thousands of letters of early Friends; with other important historical documents of more recent date. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
