“And now, persecution coming fast on, and many Friends being in prison, and sufferings growing sharp and great in most places; I could no longer keep back, or conceal myself: but a necessity came upon me to come forth, and show myself, and take my part and lot with the sufferers… Thus were the bonds and sufferings of faithful Friends made a means to confirm, and embolden me to profess the Truth.”
— Oliver Sansom, 1710
Early Quaker leader
