Ouakers' Hats.

There has been told in various works
the persecution to which. in common
wealth times. George Fox. the founder
of the Society of Friends. and his fel-
low Quakers were subjected because
Of their refusal to remove their hats
in the presence of the civil magistrate:
but the blame for this would seem to
have lain upon the local justices rather
Than the central power. Cromwell per
teived that II was easier for stupid or
Jealous magistrates to send Quakers
to prison for this refusal than to get
them out again. for Fox and his friends
had almost to be implored to leave the
tails into which they considered them
,selyes to have been unjustly thrust.
