About this book
A Portraiture of Quakerism, Volume 1 is taken, its title page says, from a view of the education and discipline, social manners, civil and political economy, religious principles and character, of the Society of Friends. The contents of the first volume list, among others, Moral Education, with a chapter on amusements distinguishable into useful and hurtful. The text records an answer given by George Fox, who stated that the church was the pillar and ground of truth, and that it did not consist of a mixed multitude, or of an old house made up of lime, stones, and wood, but of living stones, living members, and a spiritual household.
The text says George Fox went afterwards to an Inn, where he argued with priests and professors of all sorts. The text says the discipline has been considered as too great an infringement of the liberty of those brought under it, and that the Quakers would contend that all persons who live in civil society must give up a portion of their freedom, that more happiness and security may be enjoyed.
