This work was first published in the year 1661. George Fox was born some time in July of 1624 in England and died on 13th January 1691. He is famous as the founder of the Quakers. Reviled as a heretic during his lifetime, the Quakers have been known as a people who actively seek for peace and reconciliation among the people of the world. However, it must be noted that most Quakers alive today do not hold to most of the original tenets he laid down almost 400 years ago.Here is a quote from the work: "A Salutation of the Salvation to all People in that which is called Christendom, for them to come in at the Door, which is Christ the Light, by which every one is Enlightened that comes into the World, by Christ the Light which is the Way to God, and the Door out of the World through which they must enter in unto the Father from the World, and from Darkness, and Death, and the Power of it, into Covenant with God, through the Door Christ; And this is the Light, in which Light you see all your Evil Actions, you have evilly acted; and all your ungodly deeds you have ungodlily committed; and all your ungodly thoughts you have ungodlily thought, & all your hard ungodly speeches you have spoken; The Light which Christ hath Enlightened you withall, is that which makes manifest all that is contrary to it; The same Light makes manifest the Saviour from whence it comes, And makes manifest Christ to be the Covenant of Light and Life through which you may come to have Peace with God."So begins George Fox's classic clarion call to the Christian Church to get back to the Bible alone and leave off man-made traditions
