Excerpt from University Library of Autobiography: Including All the Great Autobiographies and the Autobiographical Data Left by the World's Famous Men and Women
Of wholly differing temper are Fox and Bunyan. They present to us the Puritan element as sharply and vigorously as Grammont does the cavalier, or as Lilly and Pepys present the uninterested masses between. Both Fox and Bunyan are as deeply religious as was Saint Teresa; and both, like her, approach religion from the ecstatic side, they are seers of visions, they believe themselves inspired by a divine light.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the extraordinary life and perspectives of 17th-century astrologer William Lilly. At a time of great social and religious upheaval, Lilly operated within the tension between Puritan asceticism and the cavalier pursuit of earthly pleasures. He vividly portrays the stark realities of his era, marked by civil war and the Great Plague of London. Throughout his thought-provoking narrative, he reveals fascinating ideas about the occult and the role of astrology in guiding human affairs. By blending the historical, the astrological, and the deeply personal, this book offers a unique journey through one of the most enigmatic figures of the 17th century and provides insights into the complexities of human nature and the quest for meaning and purpose amid life's triumphs and tribulations.
