Meditations and Experiences
William Shewen (1631-1695) was an early member of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in London, England. Though he does not appear to have been a traveling minister in the society, he was nevertheless considered "a very serviceable man on truth's account in several ways, and an elder in the church, being of a sound judgment and understanding in the truth. He had very clear openings in relation to the work of truth, and also of Satan's wiles to hurt and hinder the progress of it (having had long experience of both), and therefore could advise and direct the Christian traveler how to keep in the one, and be preserved out of the snares of the other" (taken from John Whiting's Memoirs). My goal in preparing this edition of Shewen's writings was to make the English somewhat more readable without changing his meaning or over-modernizing his language. This was a difficult task, and it was approached with great care, and in a measure of the fear of the Lord, believing that the Spirit of God was the truth Author behind much of this work.
Counsel to the Christian-Traveller
William Shewen was an early-convinced and prominent member of the Religious Society of Friends in London in the mid to late seventeenth century; he was also the author of a number of tracts and books. His Counsel to the Christian-Traveller: also Meditations and Experiences was first published in 1683 and frequently reprinted up to 1838. In this new edition, published by Inner Light Books, this early and important dissertation on Quaker Faith and Practice is made available to those who desire a deeper understanding of the traditional beliefs of the Religious Society of Friends.
Counsel to the Christian Traveller
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind.
