Excerpt from Extracts From the Writings of the Early Members of the Society of Friends, on the Divinity of Christ, the Benefits of His Coming, the Scriptures, &C: Together With Some Additional Observations on These and Other Subjects Connected With Them
The examples of past ages ought to admonish us, to avoid the rocks on which others have made ship wreck Of faith and a good conscience. For though the arm of secular power may not be brought into action, yet the peace and harmony of society may be as completely laid waste, as in any age of the world. The human mind may still busy itself in vain Speen lations, instead of submitting to the renovating pow er of truth or it may depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines which stand Opposed to the great truths of redemption by Jesus Christ.
These truths our primitive friends maintained. And their faith was made manifest by many clear testimonies, in word and writing; and tested by deep sufferings. In those times Of persecution, divers of their doctrines were misrepresented by their ene mies, in order to injure their Christian reputation. Against these perversions of their principles, they defended themselves with great ability and clearness, making distinct declarations Of their meaning, in those parts Of their writings which had been differ ently construed; that they might hear a standing tes timony to the various doctrines of the Gospel. What was then charged upon them by enemies, though, as some of them said, a thousand times denied, is now taken up by professed admirers of their lives and principles, and represented as their real sentiments.
