In prison, poor, hunted about from place to place, he was a martyr in spirit.

During his great earthly troubles he was solaced by a vision, which he embodied in his popular work, _The Saints' Everlasting Rest_; and he wrote with great fervor _A Call to the Unconverted_.

He was a very voluminous writer; the brutal Judge Jeffries, before whom he appeared for trial, called him "an old knave, who had written books enough to load a cart." He wrote a paraphrase of the New Testament, and numerous discourses.

Dr.Johnson advised Boswell, when speaking of Baxter's works: "Read any of them; they are all good." He continued preaching until the close of his life, and died peacefully in 1691.
GEORGE FOX .-- The founder of the Society of Friends was born in 1624, in an humble condition of life, and at an early age was apprenticed to a shoemaker and grazier.

Uneducated and unknown, he considered himself as the subject of special religious providence, and at length as supernaturally called of God.
