Présentation de l'éditeur
It {G eorge Fox sJ ournal) is one of the most extraordinary and instructive narratives in the world; which no reader of competent judgment can peruse without revering the virtue of the writer. Sib James Mackintosh. The basis of his [O eorge Fox s] teaching was the belief that each soul is in religious matters answerable not to its fellows, but toG od alone, without priestly mediation, because the Holy Spirit is immediately present in every soul and is thus a direct cause of illumination. From this central belief flowed two important practical consequences, both essentially modem; one was complete toleration, the other was complete equality of human beings before the law. John Fiske. To sum up in fewest possible words the impression made by his IG eorge Fox s] words and works upon one who studies them across the level of two centuries: he was a man of lion-like courage and adamantine strength of will, absolutely truthful, devoted to the fulfillment of what he believed to be his God-appointed mission, and without any of those side-long looks at worldly promotion and aggrandizement which many sincere leaders of church parlies have cast at intervals of their journey. Thomas Hodgkin.
