_'I am plenteuous in ioie in all
oure tribulacione.'--ST. PAUL
(Wiclif's Translation)._
_'Stand firm like a smitten anvil
under the blows of a hammer; be
strong as an athlete of God, it is
part of a great athlete to receive
blows and to conquer.'--IGNATIUS._
_'He was valiant for the truth,
bold in asserting it, patient in
suffering for it, unwearied in
labouring in it, steady in his
testimony to it, immoveable as a
rock.'--T. ELLWOOD about G. FOX._
_'George Fox never lost his
temper--he left that to his
opponents: and he had the most
exasperating way of getting the
best of an argument. His Journal
... is like a little rusty gate
which opens right into the heart
of the 17th Century, so that when
we go in by it--hey presto! we
find ourselves pilgrims with the
old Quaker in the strangest kind
of England.'--L.M. MACKAY._
_'And there was never any
persecution that came but we saw
it was for good, and we looked
upon it to be good as from GOD.
And there was never any prisons or
sufferings that I was in, but
still it was for bringing
multitudes more out of
prison.'--G. FOX._
