QUAKERS, a Religious Sect, who made their Appea- rance in England, during the Time of the Inter-regnum. & e Sect.

They took their Origin from Gecrge Fox, an illiterate Perfon, born ar 2)raito:t in Leicejlerjhire 5 and by Pro- feffion a Shoe-maker.

Prifon, and form d their Sect, maugre all Oppofition of both ; and under the Direflion of Fox, Heivsbury, and others, grew from a loofe, undifciplin'd Multitude, into a regular Body, with flated Laws and Polity 5 which they retain with gteat Oeconomy 10 this day.

T he ; modern Quakers retain nothing of the Extravagan- cies charged on their Leaders ; having approved them- felves a fober, quiet People, of exemplary Morals, and remarkably charitable and friendly to each other.

Their Doctrines are not eafily colled ; at leaft, not eafilyreprefentedout of their own Terms, which appear fomewhat ambiguous.

They hold Chrill to be a Light which hath lighted every Man ; and that whoever will foberly and l'erioufly turn into himfelf with a fincere defire to know and praftife his Duty, will not fail to find there a fufficient Direflor ; a Ray from the Fountain of Light illuminating the Understanding, and affifting to diHinguifb. Good from Evil.

They add, That fuch as follow the Direaions and Con- victions of this Light, fhall be Holy and Aceptable to God ; and that this was the End of Cbrilt's coming into the World— Tnat fo far as they follow this Light, they /hall be infallible; and that it is not Opinion', or Speculations, or Notions of what is true, or Subfcription of Articles or Formula's of Faith, howfoundly foever worded, that make a Man a true Believer or Chriflian ; but a conformity of Mind and Praflice to the Will of God, according to the Manifestation and Diflates of this divine Principle of Light within 'em.

Our Saviour's Injunftion about Baptifm they underfland, in a figurative Senfe, of a Conversion and Change of the

Heart; and wholly neglefl the outward Sign Warer-

Baptifm they hold was only John's ; that it was no more than a Type or Figure, fitted for the Infant-flate of the Gofpel; and therefore now ufelefs, in a Difpenfation, which is fpiritual and inward.

The fame they hold of the Supper ; alledging, That both allude to old Jevifi Practices, and were ufed as Types or Sign.fications ot a near and accomplifhing Work They add, that the Communion of Saints confills only in a participation of the fame divine Principle, Shewing itfelf in an Unity of Spirit.

As to MiniHry and Ordinances, they deny that any are to be ufed of Man's Wit, or Will, or carnal Invention, or Imitation ; or other than what the inward Principle directs 'em ;o— — Accordingly, they have no Perfons fet apart for the Minulry ; but without distinction of Quality or Sex, every one who is of fober Life, and approved Converfation, and believes himorherfelf called or moved thereto, is permitted to fpeak and prophefy in their Aflemblies.
