"Very true um very true," observed Cophagus, putting more Quakerism than usual in his style, and drawing out his ums to treble their usual length; "Happy life Japhet um all at peace quiet amusements think about it um no hurry never swear by-and-bye heh! spirit may move um not now talk about it get well set up shop and so on."
M. Matter, in his 'History of Christianity, speaks of Quakerism in conjunction with Methodism as the two forms of English reaction against formalism alike in doctrine and in government. But it has been a merit of the English Church, and its most distinguishing title to the name of 'National, that it has been able to learn from the sects which have grown up around it.

Sarah and Angelina were uncompromising, refused to yield one iota of their rights as "moral and responsible beings." They firmly declined to make their Quakerism and not their womenhood their warrant for "exercising the rights and performing the duties" of rational and responsible beings, for the sake of quieting tender consciences, like that of Phelps, among the anti-slavery brethren.
I consider Methodism, Quakerism, and the extremes of High and Low Churchism foolish, but Roman Catholicism beats them all.
