People From Flushing Sign Treaty to Accept Quakers
OoOoOoh, in yo’ face, Peter Stuyvesant!!!
It’s no secret that Director-General of New Netherland hates the Quakers, but his people can no longer tolerate his stoopid face it! A bunch of citizens have signed the Flushing Remonstrance, which asks exemption from Hawk Face’s ban on Quaker worship.
Fun fact: None of the signers are Quakers themselves!
The petition states:
“Therefore if any of these said persons come in love unto us, we cannot in conscience lay violent hands upon them, but give them free egresse and regresse unto our Town … for we are bounde by the law of God and man to doe good unto all men and evil to noe man.”
Hmmm, brave stuff!!
How do U think Hawk Face will take his citizens’ backlash????
UPDATE: Hawk Face has immediately thrown four signers in jail and two other signers have already recanted. UGH, the nerve!!!!
