" And yet this is by no means an isolated instance of its kind in their history. When George Fox lay in his cheerless prison, one of the Friends went to Oliver Cromwell and offered to lie there in his stead. Then it was that Cromwell, struck by this act of friendship, looked around on his followers and said, " which of you would do as much for me if I were in the same condition ?" In Wales, Richard Davies offered himself in the place of his younger friend Thomas Ellis. So deeply affected were s...ome of the magistrates by this unselfish act, that they became Friends themselves, and persecution ceased in that immediate neighborhood. 14 But perhaps the most touching instance of self-sacrifice of this kind was seen in the case of James Parnell, "a little lad, " as George Fox calls him, 1 who was imprisoned when but eighteen .
