12 This could lend further weight to the point made earlier that sect-type analysis is not the most useful approach to Lollardy. The absence of this particular form of ‘public’ ordinance was also true, of course, for Quakers. To what extent this differentiated their experience from that of other dissenting groups is unclear.
