Excerpt from The Early Friends (or Quakers) In Maryland: Read at the Meeting of the Maryland Historical Society, 6th March, 1862 The rise and progress of the Society of Friends, or Quakers, in the province of Maryland, constitutes an episode rather than a prominent integral part of its history; a thread in the woof distinct and separate from the whole fabric. By the inculcation of their peculiar tenets, differing so widely from those around them, they immediately isolated themselves in a great degree from the world. Even their speech and apparel, so peculiar to themselves, seemed as a harrier between them and the rest of mankind. Abstaining, almost totally, from participation in political matters, they were content to be governed, not to govern; to yield obedience to the recognised laws, where their doctrines did not come in opposition to them; yet when so clashing, presenting a front of quiet, but downright and sturdy resistance; not by force of arms, but by the exhibition of an endurance that constitutes one of the most remarkable characteristics of the sect, and which, however open to animadversion, yet commands respect from its consistency with their principles, and the unyielding persistence with which it has been maintained.
