In its lucidity and depth, Rosemary Moore’s book clearly deserves an honored place among the first rank of studies of Quaker origins. No one interested in the topic can afford to pass this fine book by. Let’s call it what it is: history at its finest.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—H.

With analytical material moved to endnotes, this book is well-suited to the interested general reader. However, the integrity of its scholarship and useful critique of source material also makes this work very suitable as a text for those studying early modern religion, and especially the fragmenting nature of English Protestantism in the seventeenth century.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Beverly Adams \u003ci\u003eEcclesiastical History\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Rosemary Moore provides a welcome addition to early Quaker studies.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Arthur J.
