A Portraiture of Quakerism, Volume I (of 3)

INTRODUCTION
170/423

I have therefore finished this part of my task, and the reader will expect me to proceed to the next subject.

But as I am certain that many objections will be started here, I shall stop for a few minutes to state, and to consider them.
The Quakers differ on the subject of moral education, very materially from the world, and indeed from those of the world, who having had a more than ordinarily liberal education, may be supposed to have, in most cases, a more than ordinarily correct judgment.

The Quaker system, as we have seen, consists principally of specific prohibitions.

These prohibitions again, are extended occasionally to things, which are not in themselves vicious.

They are extended, again, to these, because it is possible that they may be made productive, of evil.
