Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Renunciation of Popery
IT will, perhaps, be gratifying to my readers, to know some thing oi the tenor of my life, and the reasons which influenced me to leave the Roman catholic church. I was born and edu osted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. My father was of the' society of friends. My mother was attached to no religious denomination. It was my father's constant care, from our earliest infancy, to instil into his childrens' minds the fear and love Of God. It was his practice, every evening, previous to retiring to rest, to read and explain to us the Sacred Scriptures. His solicitude for our spiritual advancement was such, that he watched over all our actions, as if the whole accountability thereof rested on him alone. Under the direction of so good a tutor, and having constantly before me the animating example Of fervent devotion, my heart soon began to receive the impres sions which my father so assiduously endeavoured to make Upon it. Happy had it been for us his children, had he still lived to extend his watchful eye over the aberrations Of our future life. But God ordered it otherwise - he was taken from us.
