Page "George Fox" Paragraph 42
from
Wikipedia
Fox wrote a letter to the governor and assembly of the island in which he refuted charges that Quakers were stirring up the slaves to revolt and tried to affirm the orthodoxy of Quaker beliefs.
After a stay in Jamaica, Fox's first landfall on the North American continent was at Maryland, where he participated in a four-day meeting of local Quakers.
He remained there while various of his English companions travelled to the other colonies, because he wished to meet some Native Americans who were interested in Quaker ways — though he relates that they had " a great dispute " among themselves about whether to participate in the meeting.
He resented the suggestion ( from a man in North Carolina ) that " the Light and Spirit of God ... was not in the Indians ", a proposition which Fox refuted.
