Excerpt from Brief Biographies of Some Members of the Society of Friends: Showing Their Early Religious Exercises, and Experience in the Work of Regeneration
In preparing this compilation, the writer has especially had in view those persons, whose minds have been awakened to a sense of their sinful condition, and in whom living desires have been raised for admission into the Kingdom of Heaven. In reading the accounts which follow, these may see, that others, who have gone before them, by turning in all sincerity to that Grace which convinced them of their sin, and by closely following its guidance; were enabled to repent of and forsake their sins; and to obtain true faith in Christ, and a sense of union and acceptance with Him.
As such visited ones patiently endure the judgments of the Lord, they will find them to produce the peaceable fruits of righteousness; and thus the work of redemption and purification will go forward in them.
