The History of the Rise, Increase, and Progress of the Christian People Called Quakers

The History of the Rise, Increase, and Progress of the Christian People Called Quakers is by William Sewel, written originally in Low Dutch and translated by himself into English. The title page says the history is intermixed with several remarkable occurrences, and that a new edition has appended an interesting narrative of the sufferings of William Moore, John Philly, and Richard Seller. The table of contents lists The First Book, 1415-1650, The Second Book, 1651-1653, and The Third Book, 1654-1655, among others.

The text says that G. Fox, having been kept prisoner a pretty long time, was at length set at liberty, and then travelled as before in the work of the Lord. The text says it seems that Nayler, though still under some cloud, yet was a little more clear in his understanding than before. The text says Robert Rich, that forward man, was at the parliament door, from eight in the morning till about eleven, crying variously to the parliament men as they passed by.
