Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Then comes the Quaker Unmask’d, a Pamphlet I set no more Store by that, than I do by the Principles of the writer: In answer to that another was wrote, titled the Presbyterian Looking-Glass, which sheweth a great deal of ingenuity, accompanied with sound Reasons for the publick good.
AND I am sorry the Author made his Period where he did, had he carried his discourse so far as to have cleared the Matter with regard to the Quakers assisting the Loyal Citizens to save the Lives of those Indians then in the Barracks; I should not put Pen to Paper on the Subject.
ALTHOUGH I am not one of that Society myself, yet I have a Love for them as I have for all other good People that were so well adorned with Christian Zeal and Piety towards GOD; to join as one Man in defence of his righteous Law; which forbids the shedding of Innocent Blood----Because every Person is deemed innocent in the Eye of the Law, until he is proved Guilty.
“I shall quote some of the Mosaic Law or Laws of God, as they stand upon holy Record.-----And by the Validity of those Laws I presume to try that Act of Cruelty committed on the Indians
