Book Description

Excerpt from Memorials Concerning Several Ministers, and Others, Deceased; Of the Religious Society of Friends: With Some of Their Last Expressions The Meeting for sufferings representing the Yearly Meeting of the Society of Friends, for the State of New-York, and parts adjacent, taking into consideration, that no publicity by printing had been given to the testimonies concerning deceased Friends on record; and believing, that a suitable selection from them would promote the cause of religion, have prepared this work for the press, in the hope that the relations therein contained of the peaceful close of those who, by obedience to the manifestations of divine Grace, had witnessed an advancement in the saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, would tend to excite others to similar faithfulness, in observing that it had produced in them the genuine fruits of vital Christianity, in the truths of which they had most surely believed; and that it had preserved them through the trials and vicissitudes of life, and at its solemn period had disarmed death of iu terrors, and given them a foretaste of the joys which God hath prepared for them that love him.
