Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Thomas Papillon of London, Merchant: 1623-1702 Living in an age when Civil Government was unsettled, and Commerce still in its infancy, he took an active part in both, though only as circumstances required. While always ready to espouse the cause of Justice and Liberty, he was ever loyal to his Sovereign, and disposed to peace. Though decided in his views, he was never a slave to party. Imbued from youth with strong religious feelings, he had grace to maintain them through life. He was a diligent student of God´s Word, and wrote several sound religious essays. When called to suffer for his support of Civil and Civic rights, and finding exile necessary, he patiently submitted, and rejoiced in his seclusion, as affording time for reflection. His most valuable papers are of this period. Restored to his native land, and to his place in Parliament, he resolutely declined Civic honours, but was persuaded by the King to accept office under Government; - still retaining his independence of views. His dearest earthly enjoyment was that of the family circle, and the records of his worthy consort form an interesting feature of the Memoirs.
