The Quakers are a religious group who believe that all Christians have access
to the word of Christ, not just priests and other clergy, which caused them to
be persecuted in the American colonies in the late 1600s. Arthur Miller's play,
The Crucible, takes place during this time. Read the following excerpt in
which Reverend Parris references Quakers in his argument with the main
character, John Proctor.
PROCTOR: I may speak my heart, I think!
PARRIS, in a fury. What, are we Quakers? We are not
Quakers here yet, Mr. Proctor.
Which of the following makes an inference based on historical context?

Respuesta :

When John proctor says “I may speak with my heart I think” he means to think for himself and not let the Bible speak for his own morals however Parris believes not this and tells him that he is no such Quaker and the Bible is one way to be understood
