P. 345. Fox's Journal, p. 162. F Bancroft's Hist. , vol. Ii. P. 355. Barclay, 356, 483, 484.
^9 has made it the subject of his eulogy, and even the historians of civil and religious liberty have passed it by. But surely never did the groined arches of that ancient hall look down upon a nobler spectacle. They had seen many a more splendid and brilliant one, but none more honor- able than this. They had looked down on balls and banquets, and coronations and the trial of a king, but never, since t...hey were hewn from their native oak, did they behold a sight more honorable to human nature than that of these humble Quakers grouped below. They had rung with the most eloquent voices that ever spoke the English tongue, but never heard before such words as these. (Let me repeat them here to-day, for amongst those that spoke them were men that founded Burlington): "In Love to our Brethren, " they say to Parliament, " that lie in Prisons and Houses of Correction and Dungeons, and many in Fetters and Irons, and have been cruelly beat by the cruel Gaolers, and many have been persecuted to Death and have died in Prisons and many lie sick and weak in Prison and on Straw" — we *' do offer up our Bodies and Selves to you, for to put us as Lambs into the same Dungeons and Houses of Correction, and their Straw and nasty Holes and Prisons, and do stand ready a Sacrifice for to go into their Places, that they may go forth and not die in Prison as many of the Brethren are dead 20 already.
