Page "George Fox" Paragraph 52

Fox is described by Ellwood as " graceful in countenance, manly in personage, grave in gesture, courteous in conversation ".

Penn says he was " civil beyond all forms of breeding ".

We are told that he was " plain and powerful in preaching, fervent in prayer ", " a discerner of other men's spirits, and very much master of his own ", skilful to " speak a word in due season to the conditions and capacities of most, especially to them that were weary, and wanted soul's rest "; " valiant in asserting the truth, bold in defending it, patient in suffering for it, immovable as a rock ".
