Book Description

Excerpt from Piety Promoted, in a Collection of Dying Sayings of Many of the People Called Quakers, Vol. 2 of 4: With a Brief Account of Some of Their Labours in the Gospel, and Sufferings for the Same Jesus christ being both the author and foundation of the Christian religion, they who believe in him, and build upon him as their foundation and rock, lay the foundation of the building so sure, that as they abide thereon, neither the winds nor rains are able to overturn it; for it stands all tempests. It was upon this that the patriarchs, prophets, and apostles were founded. And as he was their rock, so he was to all the people of the Lord, throughout their generations; and another foundation can no man lay, than that which is already laid. It is here we may assure ourselves to be safe, respecting our salvation. And as we acknowledge no other bottom for our religion, neither do we look to have salvation any other way than by Jesus Christ our Lord, who gave himself a ran som' for all. It hath been by faith in him, and through the work of his grace in our hearts, that many in our day, as in ages past, have had their salvation sealed unto them, that when their death-bed sickness has come, they have had cause of rejoicing, that through faith they had witness that they had pleased God, by whose power they were enabled to work out their salvation with fear and trembling.
