He was the son of Sir William Penn, an admiral in the British navy. Of his early life but few particulars are recorded. When quite young he was placed at school in the country, where, before he was twelve years of age, his mind was the subject of religious impressions although at the time he was ignorant of their source, he was afterwards made sensible that it was the Lord's Holy Spirit that had thus early visited him. After attaining his twelfth year, he returned to London, where he prosecuted his studies, under the direction of a private tutor, for about three years. During this period his mind was often drawn into seriousness and although his quick and lively disposition, and the many temptations to which he was exposed, sometimes led him astray, yet he was mercifully preserved from many of the snares into which the young and inexperienced too often fall.
