This pamphlet, an abridgment of William Penn’s No Cross No Crown, is published in October, 1944, in commemoration of the tercentenary of Penn’s birth. It is a companion to Barclay in Brief, by Eleanore Price Mather, Pendle Hill Historical Study Number Three, and The Inward Journey of Isaac Penington, by Robert J. Leach, Historical Study Number Six. These three texts are issued to make available in handy form the thought of three early leaders of the Society of Friends whose writings are too lengthy for the present mood. As Penn himself puts it, large books “especially in these days grow burdensome both to the pockets and minds of too many.”
Barclay deals with belief, Penington with experience, and Penn with practice. No Cross No Crown began as a tract for the times of the extravagant Stuart kings and ended as Penn’s religious legacy to his country and to the world of Christians. The glory of Christianity being, as Penn insists, the purity of those who profess it, the cure for Christendom’s defection can only come through “that divine grace and power by which the wills of men are made conformable to the will of God.” This condition is brought about through daily self-denial and through worship by which is meant “waiting patiently, yet watchfully and intently upon God.”
