“We not only have Liberty to labour in moderation,” Thomas Chalkley (1675-1741) of Philadelphia wrote in his Journal, “but . . . it is our Duty so to do. The Farmer, the Tradesman, and the Merchant,” this devout Quaker continued, “do not understand by our Lord's doctrine, that they must neglect their Calling, or grow idle in their Business, but must certainly work, and be industrious in their Callings.” “I . . . followed my Business with Diligence and Industry,” Chalkley testified, and consequently “throve in the Things of the World, the Lord adding a Blessing to my Labour.”
