Research Diaries:
17th Century Quaker Shade

Transcription:

“as wee came back did I heare one uncivill word that I
know of Except one woman spoke underhand tho not as I
[could] heare her & sd [said] wee were dogs & the Rable [rabble] set upon her
& told her; we were no more dogs then [than] she was A bitch & [stopped]
her Quickly”

And you know that shit is the Truth bc it’s coming from a Quaker. They’re basically contractually obligated to tell the Truth.

so if a Quaker calls you a bitch, youse a bitch
