_'Being but a boy, Edward Burrough
had the spirit of a man. Reviling,
slandering, buffetting and caning
were oft his lot. Nothing could
make this hero shrink.'--SEWEL._
_'His natural disposition was bold
and manly, what he took in hand he
did with his might; loving,
courteous, merciful and easy to be
entreated; he delighted in
conference and reading of the holy
scriptures.'--'Piety Promoted.'_
_'Dear Brother, mind the Lord and
stand in His will and counsel. And
dwell in the pure measure of God
in thee, and there thou wilt see
the Lord God present with thee.
For the bringing forth many out of
prison art thou there set; behold
the word of the Lord cannot be
bound. The Lord God of Power give
thee wisdom, courage, manhood, and
boldness, to thresh down all
deceit. Dear Heart, be valiant,
and mind the pure Spirit of God in
thee, to guide thee up into God,
to thunder down all deceit within
and without. So farewell, and God
Almighty keep you.'--GEORGE FOX,
to a friend in the ministry._
_'So, all dear and tender hearts,
abide in the counsel of God, and
let not the world overcome your
minds but wait for a daily victory
over it.'--E. BURROUGH._
_'Give me the strength to
surrender my strength to Thee in
Love.'--RABINDRANATH TAGORE._
