It is in this loss of his former consequence that he must feel a punishment in having been disowned.

For he can never be to his own feelings what he was before.

It is almost impossible that he should not feel a diminution of his dignity and importance as a man.
Neither can he restore himself to these privileges by going to a distant part of the kingdom and residing among quakers there, on a supposition that his disownment may be concealed.

For a Quaker, going to a new abode among Quakers, must carry with him a certificate of his conduct from the last monthly meeting which he left, or he cannot be received as a member.
But besides losing these privileges, which confer consequence upon him, he looses others of another kind.

He cannot marry in the society.
