A Sermon Preached at the Quaker's Meeting House, in Gracechurch-Street, London, Eighth Month 12th, 1694.

In the heat of a London summer of 1694, a Quaker preacher stood before the gathered faithful in Gracechurch Street, delivering a sermon that still rings with the earnest simplicity of early Friends. He frames humanity’s brokenness in vivid, biblical language, then turns to the central claim that salvation rests on Christ alone, invoking John III 16 as the heartbeat of his message. The rhythm of his conviction is unadorned yet powerful, inviting listeners to see the world through the lens of divine love and personal responsibility.

The 19th‑century editor who brought this address back to us adds a passionate defence against later critics who clipped the original words to scandalise the movement. His forward explains why the preacher’s words deserve hearing as they were spoken, not as fragments in a polemic. For anyone curious about the roots of Quaker spirituality, the sermon offers a glimpse into a community wrestling with doubt, hope, and the promise of a brighter horizon.
