4 Braithwaite, Second Period of Quakerism, 114. This is a conservative estimate. Others are much higher. Besse’s Sufferings list 366 Quaker martyrs by name; Braithwaite raises that total to “at least 450.” Various editions of Besse also list by name 12,406 Quakers who were made victims for their Christian beliefs. The true number was undoubtedly much higher. Jeremy $$$te reckoned it at 60,000 imprisonments and 5,000 deaths in prison.
