By this, therefore, shall the Iniquity of Jacob be. purged, and this is all the Fruit to take away his Sin: when he makes all the stones of the altar like chalk-stones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up. Isa. 27. 9. Thou sawest till that a Stone ivas cut out of the Mountain without Hands, which smote the Image upon his Feet, that were of Iron and Clay; and break them to pieces. Dan. 2. 34. Ye shall defile the covering of thy graven Images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten Images of gold: thou shall cast them away as a menstruous cloth, thou shalt say unto it, "get thee hence." Isa. 30. 22. Thy graven Images also will I cut off, and thy standing Images out of the midst of thee; and thou shall no more worship the Works of thy Hands. Micah 5. 13.--By G. F. The Lord God made man and woman in his own image, and in his own likeness, and set them above all the works of his hand; but when man and woman lost the image of God, and his likeness within them, by transgressing his command, in eating of that which God had forbidden; then by transgressing of his command, the serpent that was under them, got over them, and in them, so that the body of death and sin then entered into man and woman, for sin brings death, and then it came to be a body in man and woman; and so from that, all transgression arose, and the original sin in man and woman; so the devil was the beginning of it, in man and woman, and not God; and so this death reigned in man and woman from Adam, the entering of it by transgression until the law came, which restrained man and woman from sin, and so from...

George Fox (1624 - 1691)
Was an English Dissenter and a founder of the Religious Society of Friends, commonly known as the Quakers or Friends. This was a group the Lord started through the ministry of George Fox. God called him apart from all other forms of Christendom in his day because of the lack of Biblical obedience and holiness.The emphasis in George Fox's ministry was firstly prophetic. He called out the people of God to show them that they had the Holy Spirit of God and could be taught of Him and not to solely rely on the teachings of ecclesiastical leaders. Secondly, he spoke directly to many ministers in his day to show them they were hirelings and did not have a true shepherds heart for the people of God rather they were seeking after financial gain.
Founder of the Society of Friends (Quakers). George Fox was born in Drayton-in-the-Clay, Leicestershire, England, the son of Puritan parents. Little is known of his early life, apart from what he wrote in his journal: "In my very young years, I had a gravity and stayedness of mind and spirit not usual in young children. Insomuch that, when I saw old men behave lightly and wantonly toward each other, I had a dislike thereof raise in my heart, and I said within myself, `If ever I come to be a man, surely I shall not do so, nor be so wanton.'"
At the age of 19, he gained deep, personal assurance of his salvation and began to travel as an itinerant preacher, seeking a return to the simple practices of the New Testament. He abhorred technical theology, and preached a faith borne of experience, freshly fed and guided by the immediate presence of the Holy Spirit.
Fox was persecuted almost daily, yet his power of endurance was phenomenal. He was beaten with dogwhips, knocked down with fists and stones, brutally struck with pikestaves, hard beset by mobs, incarcerated eight times in the pestilential jails, prisons, castles and dungeons--yet he went straightforward with his mission as though he had discovered some fresh courage which made him impervious to man's inhumanity.
He undertook as far as possible to let the new life in Christ take its own free course of development in his ministry. He shunned rigid forms and static systems, and for that reason he refused to head a new sect or to start a new denomination, or to begin a new church. He would not build an organization of any kind. His followers at first called themselves "Children of the Light," and later adopted the name "The Society (or Fellowship) of Friends."
Fox preached and traveled for 40 years throughout England, Scotland, Holland, and America. His life demonstrated the truth of his famous saying, "One man raised by God's power to stand and live in the same spirit the apostle and prophets were in, can shake the country for ten miles around."
