Jew Outward
For readers studying early Quaker arguments with the Protestant churches of the 1650s.
Length About 13,100 words, about an hour.
A tract of 1659 that sets the Jewish objections to Christ's coming in the flesh beside the objections of Penington's day to his coming in the Spirit, as 'a glass for the professors of this age'.
