A Portraiture of Quakerism, Volume 2

A Portraiture of Quakerism, Volume 2 - Taken from a View of the Education and Discipline, Social Manners, Civil and Political Economy, Religious Principles and Character, of the Society of Friends

Religion of the QuakersInvitation to a patient perusal of this part of the workNo design, by this invitation, to proselyte to QuakerismAll systems of Religion, that are founded on the principles of Christianity, are capable, if heartily embraced, of producing present and future happiness to manNo censure of another's Creed warrantable, inasmuch as the human understanding is finiteObject of this Invitation. Having explained very diffusively the great subjects, the moral Education, Discipline, and Peculiar Customs, of the Quakers, I purpose to allot the remaining part of this volume to the consideration of their religion. I know that persons, who are religiously disposed will follow me patiently through this division of my work, not only because religion is the most important of all subjects that can be agitated, but because, in the explanation of the religious systems of others, some light may arise, which, though it be not new to all, may yet be new and acceptable to many. I am aware, however, that there are some who direct their reading to light subjects, and to whom such as are serious may appear burthensome. If any such should have been induced, by any particular motive, to take this book into their hands, and to accompany me thus far, I entreat a continuation of their patience, till I have carried them through the different parts and divisions of the present subject. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
