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. Though the narratives which follow all relate to members of the Society of Friends, yet it is not intended thereby to convey the impression that persons of other religious persuasions do not partake in the same blessed experiences. The writer fully believes, that the work of religion is substantially the same in the hearts of all who submit to it, and he unhesitatingly accepts the declaration of the Apostle Peter, "In every nation, he that feareth [God] and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him."
