John Burnyeat (1631-1690) was an elder and pillar in the early Society of Friends, whose powerful ministry turned many from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to the power of God. Having been awakened to see the fallacy of an imputed righteousness that is neither experienced nor obeyed, he turned to the One who struck him and found that Zion must be purged “by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.” Having been prepared and sent into harvest, he labored tirelessly and traveled extensively in the service of Truth, often suffering greatly for His faithfulness to Jesus Christ. Truly it can be said of John Burnyeat that he followed the Lord fully in his generation, putting his hand to the plow and never looking back.

Friends Library Publishing exists to freely share the writings of early members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), believing that no other collection of Christian writings more accurately communicates or powerfully illustrates the soul-transforming power of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
