The History of Thomas Ellwood Written By Himself
Transcribed from the 1885 George Routledge and Sons edition by David Price
"The History of Thomas Ellwood Written By Himself" by Thomas Ellwood is a historical account likely written during the late 17th century. The narrative reflects the life of Ellwood, a Quaker who shares his experiences and spiritual journey during a time marked by religious and civil upheaval, particularly the period of the English Civil War and its aftermath. The opening of the memoir introduces readers to Thomas Ellwood's early life, highlighting his birth in a politically turbulent environment and his family's transition from rural Oxfordshire to London due to the civil war. Ellwood recounts his childhood, his education, and the friendships he formed, particularly with the Penington family, which played a crucial role in his spiritual formation. He reflects on the societal norms and the struggles he faced as he became acquainted with the Quaker faith, detailing instances of conflict between his beliefs and his father's expectations, and setting the stage for further exploration of his spiritual challenges and aspirations in the ensuing chapters.

Reading ease score: 56.3 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read.
