Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sketch of the Life and Character of William Penn The following sketch of the life and labours of that eminent Christian minister and statesman, William Penn, is principally compiled from his biography, in the 5th volume of the Friends´ Library. It is published with the hope that the fervent piety, consistent walking and sound principles of this faithful man, may induce the readers of these pages not only to seek a further acquaintance with his valuable writings, but also awaken desires in them to follow him as he followed Christ. William Penn was born in London, in 1644. He was the son of Sir William Penn, an admiral in the British navy. Of his early life but few particulars are recorded. When quite young he was placed at school in the country, where, before he was twelve years of age, his mind was the subject of religious impressions; although at the time he was ignorant of their source, he was afterwards made sensible that it was the Lord´s Holy Spirit that had thus early visited him. After attaining his twelfth year, he returned to London, where he prosecuted his studies, under the direction of a private tutor, for about three years. During this period his mind was often drawn into seriousness; and although his quick and lively disposition, and the many temptations to which he was exposed, sometimes led him astray, yet he was mercifully preserved from many of the snares into which the young and inexperienced too often fall. When about fifteen years old, he was sent to Oxford to complete his education. Here he pursued his studies with great diligence and success; but his tender mind was much shocked at the dissipation and wickedness which prevailed among the students, and by obedience to the secret checks and limitations of the Holy Spirit, he was preserved from participating in the gross corruptions around him.
