This publication is a short extract from the fifteenth proposition of Robert Barclay’s “Apology for the True Christian Divinity,” showing how most common forms of entertainment and recreation do but stifle the soul’s longings after God, and serve only to draw men out from His fear, making them forget heaven, death, and judgment, while at the same time fostering lust, vanity, and carelessness.

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.
