Excerpt from An Account of the Life, Travels, and Christian Experiences in the Work of the Ministry of Samuel Bownas The following sheets exhibit to thy perusal a plain man's plain and undisguised account of his own progress in religion: an artless narrative of his sincere and hearty endeavours, as much as in him, lay, to promote the doctrine of the gospel of Christ in the earth. The motives inducing him to undertake the office of a preacher, appear to have been perfectly consonant to the precepts of holy writ, and to the practice of Christ and his apostles, viz. 1st. A clear, cogent, and convincing evidence of a divine call, and heavenly impulse thereunto. 2dly. An indispensible sense of his duty necessarily obliging him to yield obedience to that call. And 3dly. The sweet returns of inward peace and divine consolations accompanying his obedience therein, did greatly conduce to his confirmation and perseverance in the way of his duty.
