Chapter XXIII: Butterflies in the Fells

Text size

_'My concern for God and His holy,
eternal truth was then in the
North, where God had placed and
set me.'--MARGARET FOX._

_'I should be glad if thou would
incline to come home, that thou
might get a little Rest, methinks
its the most comfortable when one
has a home to be there, but the
Lord give us patience to bear all
things'--M. FOX to G. Fox, 1681._

_'I did not stir much abroad
during the time I now stayed in
the North; but when Friends were
not with me spent pretty much time
in writing books and papers for
Truth's service.'--G. FOX._

_'All dear Friends press forward
in the straight way.'--JOHN AUDLAND._

_'Is not liberty of conscience in
religion a fundamental?... Liberty
of conscience is a natural right,
and he that would have it, ought to
give it, having liberty to settle
what he likes for the public....
This I say is fundamental: it ought
to be so. It is for us and the
generations to come.'--OLIVER
CROMWELL._
