With the signature of an early owner John Gillett on the rear endpaper. With the further Quaker signatures of Joseph Gillett of Somerton and William S. Clark. Samuel Bownas was born in 1676 to Quaker parents although his father died when he was a month old. His father had been a Friend during the time of Quaker persecution with meetings of the Friends having been held in his house. In 1696 his life was changed. At this time he was apprenticed to Samuel Parrott a Friend from Briggflatts meeting in Sedbergh. Attending meeting for worship another Friend Anne Wilson rose in worship and accused him of being no better for his attendance of meeting for worship and that would prove perilous for him "in the end". Afterwards he felt called to preach and read the Bible with greater ease. His famous "A Description of the Qualifications Necessary to a Gospel Minister" was first printed in 1750. Having first journeyed to Scotland he sailed for America aboard the Josiah John Sowden master. He landed two months later in Potuxant River Maryland about 29 May 1702 and continued his work. Bownas died at Bridport Dorset on 2 April 1753. First Edition. Full Leather. Good. Luke Hinde Hardcover
