He strikes a theme familiar with Christian mystics; but Penn interprets the cross with the utmost puritan rigor, decrying luxury and most of the customary ways of society. His effort is a warning against wrath to come, and only incidentally an invitation to enjoy the crown of rest in the kingdom here and now.
