Excerpt from Observations on the Distinguishing Views and Practices of the Society of Friends

God, said he, that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all, life, and breath, and all things; and bath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and bath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him and find him, though he be not far from every one of us for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also his oflspring; Acts xvii. 24 - 28.

Excerpt from Observations on the Distinguishing Views and Practices of the Society of Friends

Among the arguments employed in the course of the following observations, there are some which are urged upon the attention of such persons, exclusively as already possess an intimate knowledge of the character and circumstances of the Society of Friends.

The present volume is, in fact, intended not so much for the information of the public in general, as for the use of the junior members of that Society. To these the essays contained in it may be considered to be addressed. I am persuaded that there are not a few of them who, although brought up in the Society, are not sufficiently informed respecting the religious principles by which it is distinguished; and who, perhaps, have seldom reflected, with accuracy on the Christian and scriptural grounds of our several distinguishing views.

It has fallen to my lot to be brought into familiar acquaintance with serious Christians of several denominations; and, although I enjoyed a birthright in the Society, my situation, after I had arrived at years of discretion, was of that nature which rendered it, in rather an unusual degree, incumbent upon me to make my own choice of a particular religious course.
