Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of the Life of Thomas Ellwood: Or an Account of His Birth, Education, Etc
To this sect the spiritually discontented turned from all sides. Ceremonies had lost their attraction, and the priesthood its authority. It seemed best to those bent upon finding a religious life to meet each other quietly, and sit in silence expecting the spirit to move them to some good word. It was the prevalence of this temper that gave George F ox his opportunity, and that did much to determine that England was not to be a Presbyterian country.
