Indeed, very few of the society know what these insignia mean.

As to splendid liveries, these would never occupy their attention.

Liveries for servants, though not expressly forbidden, are not congenial with the Quaker-system; and as to gaming, plays, or fashionable amusements, these are forbidden, as I have amply stated before, by the laws of the society.
It is obvious then, that these topics cannot easily enter into conversation, where Quakers are.

Indeed, nothing so trifling, ridiculous, or disgusting, occupies their minds.

The subjects, that take up their attention, are of a more solid and useful kind.
