Another, in a little time, declines also for the same cause. A third,
after having taken what he thinks sufficient, follows the example. The
wine is soon afterwards taken away, and this mostly long before the hour
of drinking tea. Neither drunkenness, nor any situation approaching to
drunkenness, is known in the Quaker companies. Excess in drinking is
strictly forbidden by the laws of the society. It is a subject of one of
their queries. It is of course a subject that is often brought to their
recollection. Whatever may be the faults of the Quakers, they must be
acknowledged to be a SOBER PEOPLE.
