M i HW!! fl. ,r ,A VEZN-gigs? gl,M, ' T THE time Quakerism first came into prominence, England was involved in politi- cal chaos. Religion was often but an excuse for men to commit atrocious deeds in its name. Persecutions were common as religious sects plotted and strove for supremacy. Such was the environment which drove the Friends to greater aggressiveness. They were charged with blasphemy, imprisoned for failure to doflf their hats in the presence of the king or his officers, or for anything that the corrupt magis- trates could construe as being an offense, The tes- timony of the early Friends against taking oaths was only one result of their strong belief that Christians ought to be truthful, reverent and pure in everything they say. Later the government be- came more tolerant of the religious sects, but not before the Quakers had rebuked kings and officials alike for their high-handedness. During George Foxis travels he often found it necessary to sleep out-of-doors because of the peo- plels hostility. In 1652 he was welcomed to Swarthmore Hall. In 1655, he fGeorge Foxj was sent to London on suspicion of conspiracy against the government. His meeting with Cromwell was of great interest, as both were remarkable men of the time. Q 1 GE
