Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Rise and Progress of the People Called Quakers
Divers have been the dispensations of God since the creation of the world unto the sons of men; but the great end of all them has been the renown of his own excellent name in the creation and restoration of man - man, the emblem of himself, as a God on earth, and the glory of all his works. The world began with innocency: all was then good that the good God had made: and as be blessed the works of his hands, so their natures and harmony magnified him their Cre ator. Then the morning. Stars sang. Together for joy, and all parts of his works said Amen to his law: not a jar in the whole frame; but man in paradise, the beasts in the field, the fowls in the air, the fish in the sea, the lights in the heavens, the fruits of the earth; yea, the air, the earth, the water and fire worshipped, praised and exalted his power, wisdom and goodness! 0 holy sabbath! O holy day to the Lord!
