IT is with no small care and pains the Editor has collected the following Sentences being desi rous such a valuable treasure should not be lost with time, and buried in perpetual oblivion. Many of them sprung fiom hearts that had experienced the power of divine grace, and had tasted how gra cions the Lord is, or, in scripture phrase, that were born again, and were warm with devotion; that had the good of souls at heart, and were ear nest m the cause of God and Christ - Many, per haps, came from the dying beds of true Christians, that might be just launching into eternity, to reap the fruit of their labours, whose hearts overflowed with the love of God, and were just taking leave of all below.

About this title

About the Author

Penn founded Pennsylvania as a "Holy Experiment" under Charles II. He was a well-known proponent of religious freedom and tolerance in England and parts of Europe, specifically as a Quaker. His convictions landed him in jail serveral times. He wrote No Cross, No Crown while imprisoned in the Tower of London. As is the case with most who carry the truth of the gospel so passionately, he spent much time in prison for what he believed.

John Wesley (17031791) was an eighteenth century Anglican clergyman and Christian theologian who was the founder of the Methodist movement. Methodism had three rises, the first at Oxford University with the founding of the so-called Holy Club, the second while Wesley was parish priest in Savannah, Georgia, and the third in London after Wesleys return to England. The movement took form from its third rise in the early 1740s when Wesley, along with others, began itinerant field preaching and the subsequently founded religious societies for the formation of believers. This was the first widely successful evangelical movement in Britain. Wesleys Methodist Connexion included societies throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland before spreading to other parts of the English-speaking world and beyond. He divided his religious societies further into classes and bands for intensive accountability and religious instruction.
