Abstract
Quakers were regularly persecuted and prosecuted by church and state authorities beyond the 1689 Toleration Act. This chapter closely analyses the Old Bailey court published Proceedings to identify anti-Quaker sentiment and its similarities to the treatment of other religious minorities, specifically Jews experiencing antisemitism.
