Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From Isaac Penington The name of Isaac Penington is compar atively little known at the present day except among his fellow-believers, the Society of Friends, but his Spirit was so heavenly, his temper so forgiving, his spiritual insight SO deep, that his words have divine nourishment for the soul. His letters, (often written from prison, ) to friends beset with almost every form of temptation and trial, are so full of faith and peace, that they seem worthy to be compared with the spiritual letters of F ene lon. These selections are made from a col lection of his letters published a number of years ago, with some passages from his other writings. I am indebted for important por tions of the introduction, to The Penns and Peningtons of the Seventeenth Century, by Maria Webb.
