Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Memoir: Life and Religious Labors; An Eminent Servant of Christ and Minister of the Gospel in the Society of Friends The materials for compiling a life of Edward Burrough are extremely scanty. His death occurred so early after the rise of the Society; and at a period when Friends were enduring such severe persecution, many of them being shut up in prisons, that it is probable but little care was then taken to collect or put on record the incidents of his short but laborious life. It does not appear that he kept any account of himself, except the few particulars which are scattered through his controversial or other religious writings. These, with the scanty materials furnished by incidental notices of him, in the journals of other Friends of that day, and in Sewel´s History, are all that can now be obtained. From this circumstance the reader will not expect to find a minute or closely connected biography of this remarkable man; yet with all the paucity of material, there is enough to form a narrative deeply instructive and interesting. Perhaps there are few instances on record, of more full and entire devotion to the cause of Christ and the good of souls, more fervent zeal, more untiring industry, more patient and meek endurance of reproach and persecution, than marked his character.
