They neither bow nor scrape, nor pull off their hats to any, by way of civility or respect, and they carry their principles, like their predecessors, so far, that they observe none of these exterior parts of politeness even in the presence of royalty.

The Quakers are in the habit on particular occasions of sending deputies to the king.

And it is remarkable that his present majesty always sees them himself, if he be well, and not by proxy.

Notwithstanding this, no one in the deputation ever pulls off his hat.

Those, however, who are in waiting in the anti-chamber, knowing this custom of the Quakers, take their hats from their heads, before they enter the room, where the king is.
