Memoirs of the Godly
Memoirs of the Godly
The early history of the religious Society of Friends is replete with instances of faithful and devoted servants of Christ Jesus, who labored abundantly and with great success in the work of the Gospel, and after enduring a fight of afflictions from the intolerant and persecuting spirit of the age, finished their race with joy, in the full assurance that the gospel they had embraced, and for which they deeply suffered, was not a cunningly devised fable but substantial and ever enduring truth. “Memoirs of the Godly” is a collection of twenty-three memoirs, briefly describing the lives, sufferings, and peaceful deaths of some of these worthy followers of Jesus Christ.
