William Penn (1644-1718) was the founder of Pennsylvania.

"I do declare to the whole world that we believe the Scriptures to contain a declaration of the mind and will of God in and to those ages in which they were written; being given forth by the Holy Ghost moving in the hearts of holy men of God; that they ought also to be read, believed, and fulfilled in our day; being used for reproof and instruction, that the man of God may be perfect.  They are a declaration and testimony of heavenly things themselves, and, as such, we carry a high respect for them.  We accept them as the words of God Himself." - from "Treatise of the Religion of the Quakers"
