What it is

The founder of the Quakers records his search, the opening that Christ can speak to a person's condition directly, and years of imprisonment for refusing oaths and hat-honour.

Why it lasted

The founding document of Quakerism, and among the most vivid religious autobiographies in English.

Where to read it

Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
