QUAKERS. A sect of Christians.
2. Formerly they were much persecuted on account of their peaceable
principles which forbade them to bear arms, and they were denied many rights
because they refused to make corporal oath. They are relieved in a great
degree from the consequent penalties for refusing to bear arms; and their
affirmations are everywhere in the United States, as is believed, taken
instead of their oaths.
