A Quaker Debate on Tithes and Liberty in Early Thought
A letter responding to anti Quaker arguments discusses religious liberty, the right to worship, and opposition to coercive tithes. It defends the Quaker stance against state church pressures, arguing for voluntary faith and the mind’s autonomy under Christian principles. The writer cites scripture and calls for humility, self denial, and peaceful reform. The piece reflects 18th century religious controversy and attaches to a broader debate about ecclesiastical authority and individual conscience.
