The History Of The Rise, Increase And Progress Of The Quakers. Intermixed Wih Several Remarkable Occurrences, Written Originally In Low Dutch, And Also Translated By Hymself Into English. The 6. Ed by William Sewel. This multi-volume history surveys the emergence and growth of the Quaker movement in 17th?century Britain and Europe, with emphasis on George Fox’s life, his inner light teaching, and the persecution faced by early Friends. It traces the spread of Quakerism through England, Ireland, America, and the Atlantic world, and documents the trials, imprisonments, and executions that marked the early years of dissent, including prominent figures such as Fox, Burrough, and their companions. The work weaves together biographical narratives, martyr accounts, letters, and defense writings to present a portrait of religious liberty challenged by civil authority. It also discusses the political backdrop of the Commonwealth and the Restoration, the use of mandamus to curb persecutions, and the debates over oaths, tests, and conscience. Overall, the volume frames dissent as a nonviolent, prophetic witness and situates the Quaker movement within a turbulent era of religious and political change.
