Some Brief Remarks Upon Sundry Important Subjects

Excerpt from Some Brief Remarks Upon Sundry Important Subjects: Necessary to Be Understood and Attended to by All Professing the Christian Religion, Principally Addressed to the People Called Quakers
Candid Reader,
Were it not apprehended by me a duty, thus to offer to thy serious perusal the following plain and experimental observation upon various subjects, thou hadst not heard from me in this way.
I have often, with many brethren and sisters in the truth, been deeply affected in viewing the great danger Christian professors are exposed to through a prevailing indifference of mind. For when a lethargic stupefaction hath gained the ascendancy, religion in notion, and fruitless speculation, satisfy a mind so depraved. A renovation of heart, with out which none can be truly religious, hath not been fought after. Pleased with the shell or form only, such have not been sensible they wanted the substance.
