Observations on the Sermons of Elias Hicks / In Several Letters to Him; With Some Introductory Remarks, Addressed to the Junior Members of the Society of Friends.

by Robert Waln

By owning all things God, as owning none;

For should all beings be alike divine,

Of worship, if an object you assign,

God to himself must veneration show,

Must be the object and the votary too;

And their assertions are alike absurd,

Who own no God, or none to be adored.

Blackmore.

[65]. If the reader wishes to know what Elias Hicks says on this subject, let him peruse the Sermons, pages 37, 163, 166, 170, 182, and 293, and he will there have a fair specimen of the darkness which surrounds him—a cloud of words unilluminated by a ray of light.
