Excerpt from The Philadelphia Directory for 1806: Containing the Names, Trades, and Residence of the Inhabitants of the City, Southwark, and Northern Liberties Religious liberty is here a chartered right, the policy, as well as the equity of which, to say nothing of its consistency with the spirit of that religion which breathes peace on earth, and good will to men, is happily confirmed in these latter ages of the church, by the harmony and fellowship in which the various Professors of the modern Philadelphia so peculiarly fraternize. Penn had been concerned in the settlement of New-Jersey, some years before he obtained from Charles II, a grant of the territory on the western side of the Delaware. The Dutch and Swedes were then numerous at Upland (now Chester), at Newcastle, and at the Hoerkils (now Lewis-Town), and a number of his brethren in religious profession, had already established themselves at Shackamaxon (now Kensington, a suburb of Philadelphia) in the year 1678; when a ship, called the Shield of Stockton, the first that had ever ventured to sail so high up the river, in tacking about, ran her bowsprit among the trees which lined the shore where the city now stands; and the New Comers on board, bound for Burlington, then remarked to each other, that it would be a fine place for a town. The royal grant passed the great seal on the 4th of March, 1681; and in August the following year, the venerable Legislator of Pennsylvania set sail from London in the ship Welcome, captain Greenway. The proprietor was accompanied by a hundred of his friends and fellow professors, contemptuously called Quakers, by their haughty countrymen, because, in their religious meetings, like the Faithful of every age, they sometimes trembled at the word of God.
