    189 A NEW LOOK AT THE PENINGTONS saac Penington is one of the most frequently quoted of all Quaker authors, with a long list of entries in Quaker faith and Ipractice, and yet, if you wish to look beyond these short quotations, there are problems. His collected works are available in a new reprint or free online, but consist of four forbiddingly solid volumes.1 Otherwise, there are only brief selections currently in print. Nor do the published works contain all that he wrote, for there are some half million words of unpublished manuscripts. A few years ago the Literature Committee of Britain Yearly Meeting commissioned a single volume of extracts from Penington's writings, which would be accompanied by historical and theological background information.2 My share of this work has been to provide the biographical and historical background, which makes up the substance of this evening's address. Isaac Penington is best known for his spiritual writings, and as one who suffered long imprisonments for his faith, but he was also a devoted family man, a political commentator and a surprisingly fierce controversialist. He was also a supporter, for a time, of John Perrot, the Quaker schismatic. He kept up a correspondence with a large circle of family and friends, both Quaker and otherwise, and the greater part of his correspondence has never been published. Nor is it possible to make a proper study of Isaac without considering his wife Mary. Fortunately Mary Penington's Experiences are well known and readily available in print, so that, as a person, she is probably better known than her husband.3 She was a very practical and forthright woman, and there was something of the attraction of opposites between them.

Clare Martin has observed that seventeenth century Friends 'adopted new institutions which it needed to achieve longevity but it had lost much of the old enthusiasm which it needed to thrive'.12 It can only be hoped that modern students of Quaker Studies will continue to develop new strategies to uncover the past, provoke new questions, and provide reasoned responses - but not lose TRADITION VERSUS INNOVATION: their enthusiasm for uncovering the history of the Friends themselves. 'The future of Quaker history', as Ingle suggested, is indeed encouraging.13 THE HAT, WILKINSON-STORY 1 AND KEITHIAN CONTROVERSIES RICHARD C. ALLEN GUEST EDITOR Clare J.

  • Pennsylvania Magazine of HISTORY and BIOGRAPHY
    THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY The First "Purchasers of Pennsylvania 1681-1700 ENNSYLVANIA, like West New Jersey, was a Quaker under- taking and had the wholehearted support of the Quaker leaders. PWithout the backing of this sect as a whole, William Penn would have been only another on a long list of proprietor-adventurers in the New World. As it turned out, when he launched his campaign for purchasers and settlers in the early summer of 1681, he found a response to his idea of a "Holy Experiment" that has no parallel in the story of American colonization. The vigor of the reception given Penn's scheme is to be attributed to the concern of the Quakers with existing conditions in Great Britain and Ireland.1 It is true that the persecutions of nonconform- ists under Charles II did not compare in intensity and harshness with those of earlier periods, that the persecutions were nowhere as vindictive or cruel or as near the extermination point as some thought, and that they were intermittent in the sense that all penal legislation was never enforced everywhere at one time nor anywhere continuously through the reign. And yet, as thinking Quakers re- flected upon the course of the persecution since 1660, as they wit- 1 William C. Braithwaite, The Second Period of Quakerism (London, 1921), discusses fully the nature and extent of the persecutions, 1660-1688. See especially pages 21-211. 137 I38 JOHN E. POMFRET April nessed its quick renewal in 1678 upon the acceptance of the flimsy evidence produced by the Titus Oates Plot, and as they observed the fierce antagonism of the extreme Whigs toward the Crown and the deep suspicion of the machinations of Charles II, they were con- vinced that England, though "sound, solvent, and sober-minded/' was certainly for them no land of promise either for the present or for future generations.2 The Friends were a small sect, but they were peculiarly vulnerable because they refused to meet in secret or to compromise on any principle that would substitute man-made law for the law of God.

  • Norwood, Harding, Bovingdon and Ball Families of Amersham, Coleshill and Penn Have Been Written by Chris O’Brien and Are Reproduced Here with Permission
    These notes on the Norwood, Harding, Bovingdon and Ball families of Amersham, Coleshill and Penn have been written by Chris O’Brien and are reproduced here with permission. Ancestry of William Norwood of Eton These notes concern the ancestry of William Norwood of Eton, currier, the grandfather of Robert Pickman Norwood (I), who died in 1827. He married Maria Pickman at Upton (Slough), 28th March 1791, when he was 26, and was buried at Eton, 7th May 1827. He was aged 62 at his death. These two pieces of evidence place his birth between May 1764 and March 1765, but up to now no birth record of a William Norwood has been found. The identification of this William Norwood with the descendant of the family described in these notes rests on four pieces of circumstantial evidence, namely: (a) These notes lead to William Norwood, son of Richard Norwood of Amersham, tanner. Richard died in 1775. His wife having predeceased him, administration of his estate and curation/tuition of his children was granted to their grandfather, also Richard Norwood. In the curation bond, dated 18th October 1775 (Arch. Bucks.), the second of these children is William Norwood, aged 10. This places his birth between October 1764 and October 1765, which is consistent with the above information. (b) A set of documents was deposited in the B.R.O (now the Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies) within the last ten years which are the title deeds of some property in Penn. They show the descent of the property from Thomas Bovingdon via his daughter Emma who married Ezekiel Norwood (the only evidence I have for that marriage), through Richard Norwood (d.

The editor believes that a goodly number of people care about the Quaker collections of Haverford Col- lege. Although the Haverford library is an outstanding one for a small college, only the Quaker section of it can claim to be indispensable to the scholarship of its field. This section contains more than ten thousand printed titles, apart from its valuable manuscript col- lections. It is approached in size and value by only one other library of Quakeriana in America, that of Swarthmore College, with which it works in close cooperation. It contains various manuscripts and printed titles, rare beyond measure. It is adding thousands of entries yearly to its card indexes, thus opening a doorway to store-houses of historical material other- wise almost inaccessible. It is well worth telling about. Quakeriana Notes will try to tell this story.

Other sources of authority, such as Scripture or tradition, were not rejected outright, but Friends held that their authoritative appropriation required the experience of regeneration. Because of this emphasis on experience, narrative writings provide a potentially rich source for historical theology of the period. This article explores the theology expressed in Quaker autobiography across the first two generations, drawing on narratives tracts of the 1650s and retrospective journals of the first and second generations.2 The analysis focuses on the theology THE EXPERIENCE OF REGENERATION AND E C T of perfection, knowledge and revelation.

  • The Circulation of Quaker Texts, 1650-1700
    Compelling Reading: The Circulation of Quaker Texts, 1650-1700 Brooke Sylvia Palmieri A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at University College London September 2017 !1 !2 I, Brooke Sylvia Palmieri, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. !3 !4 Abstract This is a work about the publications and archival habits of a radical minori- ty. The Quakers organised themselves around reading, writing, archiving, and publication— activities in which every member was expected to partici- pate. The paradox of these activities is that while they focused upon indi- vidual spiritual development, they were dependent upon and tested by in- tensely collaborative authorship and communal reading. Reading amongst Friends was an element of their spiritual identity, and also a direct inheri- tance of changes in information production and circulation triggered during the Civil Wars of the 1640s. Over time, Quaker reading practices changed along with the publications they produced and circulated, especially at the onset of state-sanctioned persecution during the Restoration. Publications, which initially featured Quaker leaders as authors, extended to include the testimonies of the broader membership experiencing persecution. Alternate readings of Quaker texts fuelled the doctrinal disputes between members. So too did the makeup of membership change, widening audiences, attract- ing scholars on the one hand, and non-English speakers on the other. With- in current scholarship on the history of reading, Quakers show how individ- ual readings developed in a communal environment.
