Excerpt from William PennNow Admiral Penn had fought on the side of the Roundheads because the English navy had sided With the Parliament, while the English army had largely sided with the king, and not from any real love of Oliver Cromwell and the Puritans.He was indeed a Royalist at heart, and had very little patience with the new religious ideas that were becoming so popular in England. The people in Wanstead, however, were mostly Puritans, and young William, boy though he was, heard so much about their religion that he became a little Puritan like his playmates. Some of the fathers and mothers boasted that they had seen visions, and soon the children were repeating what their parents said. Strange experiences of that kind were in the air, and so little William Penn, when he was only eleven, claimed that he had himself met with such an adventure, and seen a vision too.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
