AN EPISTLE TO THE READER.
Reader, this following account of the people called Quakers, &c. was
written in the fear and love of God: first, as a standing testimony to
that ever blessed truth in the inward parts, with which God, in my
youthful time, visited my soul, and for the sense and love of which I was
made willing, in no ordinary way, to relinquish the honours and interests
of the world. Secondly, as a testimony for that despised people, that
God has in his great mercy gathered and united by his own blessed Spirit
in the holy profession of it; whose fellowship I value above all worldly
greatness. Thirdly, in love and honour to the memory of that worthy
servant of God, George Fox, the first instrument thereof, and therefore
styled by me--The great and blessed apostle of our day.
