Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of George Whitehead, a Minister of the Gospel in the Society of Friends, Vol. 1 of 2: Being the Substance of the Account of His Life The historical account which George Whitehead has left of his own "Christian Progress," is so much interwoven with the early history of the Religious Society of Friends that, independently of the instructive exhibition which it affords of individual character, it has a strong claim on the attention of those who now profess the principles which he advocated so boldly, and for which he suffered with so much constancy. These Memoirs, indeed, contain more information relative to the early proceedings of the Society, than those of any other individual, except it be the life of George Fox. Convinced when underage of the doctrines preached by that reformer, he became very soon an active and zealous minister of the truths which he had embraced, and continued for nearly seventy years to labour by word and example in the support of them. It has been the lot of few persons to occupy an active sphere for so long a period of time as was the case with George Whitehead. He was born in the reign of Charles I. Under the Commonwealth, and in the reign of Charles II., he suffered many severe persecutions. He visited several times the court of Charles, to plead with him on behalf of the cause of religious liberty.
