" We find many renowned women recorded in the Old Testament, who had received a talent of wisdom and spiritual understanding from the Lord as good stewards thereof they improved an employed the same to the praise and glory of God as male and female are made one in Christ Jesus, so women receive an office in the Truth as well as men and they have a stewardship and must give account of their stewardship to their Lord, as well as the men. Therefore they ought to be faithful to God and valiant for his Truth upon the earth, that so they may receive the reward of righteousness" Elizabeth Bathurst, 1683 (Quaker Faith and Practice 19.25)
