Earthly kingdoms have men,
and square miles.
God’s KINGDOM is measureless,
and has square men!

The damp dark bark down below
And the wind whipping through above
Make me glad for a fireplace glow
About a hearth with ones I love.

George Fox died this date, 1/13/1691, at London England. As a boy/young man he associated with some Puritans and some Anabaptist. These associations may well have lead Fox (at about 23) to leave the Church of England (Anglican Church) and become a wandering minister.
Fox and the Society of Friends (“Quakers”) which he founded in his mid-thirties, stressed the Holy Spirit’s dwelling in the human heart and each individual’s direct communion with God. He married Margaret Fell (a widow) in 1669. George Fox was born 7/?/1624, at Fenny Drayton, Leicestershire, England.
