This volume begins with Appreciations of Fox by his wife and Thomas
Ellwood. It is the record of his life and ministry. Fox developed
strong opinions about religion and rebelled against the state
control of the Church of England. In 1643 he began touring the
country giving sermons where he argued that consecrated buildings
and ordained ministers were irrelevant to the individual seeking
God. After the formation of the Religious Society of Friends, or
Quakers, in 1652, Fox and his associates suffered under brutal
persecution from the English government. His journal was initially
dictated to his stepson-in-law when they were both imprisoned in
the mid-1670s. It reads with the burning rage against social
injustice and a visionary sense of God that came from Fox's own
persecution and suffering.
