Book Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of Thomas Scattergood: Late of Philadelphia, a Minister of the Gospel of Christ From the love we feel for the memory of this our dear friend, and the continued sense we have of his fervent pious engagements, it appears to be a duty to posterity to transmit some account of his life and conversation. He was born in the city of Burlington, New Jersey, of parents professing belief in the doctrines and principles held by us as a religious Society. His father dying whilst he was young, he was placed an apprentice in this city; and though often sensible of the checks of Divine grace, which condemns for sin, he followed the inclination of his own corrupt will, which led into estrungement from the path of peace; till being in mercy visited with an humbling sense of his milerable condition, he turned at the reproofs of instruction, and submitting to the gentle manifestations of Light upon his understanding, was enabled to bear the cross of Christ, and became qualified to extend advice and counsel to others. Under those exercises, a sense of a call to the ministry of the gospel was, in the wisdom and love of God, communicated to his mind; but through great reluctance to yield to this awful work, he forbore for several years, and thereby brought upon himself very deep distressing conflicts. At length, whilst accompanying a Friend who had been here on a religious visit, the impression of Divine requiring being renewed upon him, his mouth was opened with a few words in a religious meeting; and after his return, he expressed at times in our religious assemblies, a few sentences in a tender broken manner, much to the satisfaction of his friends; and continuing steadfast under many baptisms and trials, he was remarkably careful that no part of his conduct might lessen the force of the doctrine which he had to preach to others. Keeping faithful to the intimations of duty, he became prepared for more extensive service; and with the concurrence of the Monthly Meeting, proceeded to i ulfila prospect he had of a religious visit to the meetings of Friends within the government of New York, and part of New England, and was favored to return with the reward of peace.
