BENJAMIN LAY

Abington Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), Jenkintown, Pennsylvania

50: The Spirit of Martyrs Revived by Ellis Hooks

     Collected by Ellis Hooks, The Spirit of the Martyrs Revived, in a Brief Compendious Collection of the Most Remarkable Passages and Living Testimonies of the True Church, Seed of God, and Faithful Martyrs, in All Ages from the Creation. A little book of great value. I could wish all well-minded people had of them.
