"Them which the world who are without the fear of God calls Quakers in scorn do deny all opinions， and they do deny all conceivings， and they do deny all sects， and they do deny all imaginations， and notions， and judgments which riseth out of the will and the thoughts， and do deny witchcraft and all oaths， and the world and the works of it， and their worships and their customs with the light， and do deny false ways and false worships， seducers and deceivers which are now seen to be in the world with the light， and with it they are condemned， which light leadeth to peace and life from death which now thousands do witness the new teacher Christ， him by whom the world was made， who raigns among the children of light， and with the spirit and power of the living God， doth let them see and know the chaff from the wheat， and doth see that which must be shaken with that which cannot be shaken nor moved， what gives to see that which is shaken and moved， such as live in the notions， opinions， conceivings， and thoughts and fancies these be all shaken and comes to be on heaps， which they who witness those things before mentioned shaken and removed walks in peace not seen and discerned by them who walks in those things unremoved and not shaken."--A Warning to the World that are Groping in the Dark， by G. Fox， 1655.

FN 37 "Especially of late，" says Leslie， the keenest of all the enemies of the sect， "some of them have made nearer advances towards Christianity than ever before； and among them the ingenious Mr. Penn has of late refined some of their gross notions， and brought them into some form， and has made them speak sense and English， of both which George Fox， their first and great apostle， was totally ignorant . . . . . They endeavour all they can to make it appear that their doctrine was uniform from the beginning， and that there has been no alteration； and therefore they take upon them to defend all the writings of George Fox， and others of the first Quakers， and turn and wind them to make them (but it is impossible) agree with what they teach now at this day." (The Snake in the Grass， 3rd ed. 1698.
Introduction.) Leslie was always more civil to his brother Jacobite Penn than to any other Quaker. Penn himself says of his master， "As abruptly and brokenly as sometimes his sentences would fall from him about divine things； it is well known they were often as texts to many fairer declarations." That is to say， George Fox talked nonsense and some of his friends paraphrased it into sense.
FN 38 In the Life of Penn which is prefixed to his works， we are told that the warrants were issued on the 16th of January 1690， in consequence of an accusation backed by the oath of William Fuller， who is truly designated as a wretch， a cheat and. an impostor； and this story is repeated by Mr. Clarkson. It is， however， certainly false. Caermarthen， writing to William on the 3rd of February， says that there was then only one witness against Penn， and that Preston was that one witness. It is therefore evident that Fuller was not the informer on whose oath the warrant against Penn was issued. In fact Fuller appears from his Life of himself， to have been then at the Hague. When Nottingham wrote to William on the 26th of June， another witness had come forward.
FN 39 Sidney to William， Feb. 27. 1690，. The letter is in Dalrymple's Appendix， Part II. book vi. Narcissus Luttrell in his Diary for September 1691， mentions Penn's escape from Shoreham to France. On the 5th of December 1693 Narcissus made the following entry： "William Penn the Quaker， having for some time absconded， and having compromised the matters against him， appears now in public， and， on Friday last， held forth at the Bull and Month， in Saint Martin's." On December 18/28. 1693 was drawn up at Saint Germains， under Melfort's direction， a paper containing a passage of which the following is a translation "Mr. Penn says that Your Majesty has had several occasions， but never any so favourable， as the present； and he hopes that Your Majesty will be earnest with the most Christian King not to neglect it： that a descent with thirty thousand men will not only reestablish Your Majesty， but according to all appearance break the league." This paper is among the Nairne MSS.， and was translated by Macpherson.
