Article Excerpt:

If the early Friends were unwilling to let a Jew or an atheist sit in their colonial legislature, it would seem a safe assumption that they would not have allowed such a one to sit on a facing bench, or to clerk a monthly meeting, either.

So the bare facts that most every Friend “knows” about early Quakerism, cannot really be taken as proving that the early Friends had no unwritten equivalent to a creed within their own communities.
