N ow when I came back from him, the con sideration of his words took fast hold on me, that I could not go from under them; and the more I waited in that light that he recommend 'ed me to, the more my former peace, and that in which I formerly took comfort, was broken; and herein I came to see, that our former build ing could not stand, for we built upon that which the apostle called wood, hay, and stubble. Here I came to a loss of all my former know ledge; and my former performances proved but a sandy foundation. Then I did, with much humility and poverty of spirit, beg of Almighty God, that I might build upon that rock, that the true church of Christ was built upon, that the gates of hell might not prevail against me.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the author's journey of spiritual awakening and his pivotal role in spreading the Quaker faith in North Wales. Set against the backdrop of religious persecution in 17th century Britain, the author's experiences illuminate the struggles and triumphs of a nascent religious movement. The narrative delves into the author's personal transformation from a devout Puritan to a Quaker, a shift that brought him into conflict with both his family and the authorities. As the author tirelessly preaches his beliefs, he encounters resistance and imprisonment, yet remains steadfast in his conviction that true faith lies not in outward rituals but in the inward experience of God's grace. This poignant memoir offers a valuable historical perspective on the Quaker movement and the power of religious conviction in the face of adversity.
