Nay, he would have come over the bay with me, but I would by no means allow him to it. However, he would send me over in a sloop of his own, which was built like a yacht, and served him as well for pleasure as business. This I accepted of, and so, after the utmost expressions both of duty and affection, he let me come away, and I arrived safe in two days at my friend's the Quaker's.
He is jolly with a drunken sailor, but listens with interest and patience, as he rides the Essex roads, to the story of a Quaker's spiritual trials and convictions. He lends a critical ear to the discourse of kings and royal dukes.
"Well, my friend," Penn answered, "whenever thee finds a glass of liquor in thy hand, open that hand before the glass touches thy lips, and thee will never drink to excess again." The man was so struck by the simplicity of the great Quaker's advice that he followed it and reformed. What Brought Them?
"The maiden she smiled, and her rein she drew, 'Your offer I'll take, though I'll not take you; A pistol she held at the quaker's head 'Now give me your gold, or I'll give you my lead, 'Tis under the saddle I think you said. Heigho! yea thee and nay thee.
"Oh, not at all," said Statira. She became rather quieter, till 'Manda Grier came back. 'Manda Grier burst into the room, with a key in one hand and a lamp in the other.

One thing that I cannot understand in Charles Lamb is his confession, in the essay on "Imperfect Sympathies," that he had a prejudice against Quakers. But then I remember that one of his best bits of prose is called "A Quaker's Meeting," and one of his best poems is about the Quaker maiden, Hester Savory, and one of his best lovers and companions was the broad-brim Bernard Barton.
And now friend, passing by the rest of thy brawlings, I shall come to thy several queries, and shall answer to them in the simplicity of my soul, not laying down any doubtful expressions, but in all plainness, and not as you do, for the better understanding of them by those that read them. These be the Quaker's Queries, and my Answers to them. Query 1.
