Excerpt from University Library of Autobiography: Including All the Great Autobiographies and the Autobiographical Data Left by the World's Famous Men and Women

Of wholly differing temper are Fox and Bunyan. They present to us the Puritan element as sharply and vigorously as Grammont does the cavalier, or as Lilly and Pepys present the uninterested masses between. Both Fox and Bunyan are as deeply religious as was Saint Teresa; and both, like her, approach religion from the ecstatic side, they are seers of visions, they believe themselves inspired by a divine light.
