⁂ Rare at auction. Bugg (1640-1727) was fined for attending a meeting of the Friends around 1675. He believed that the preacher Samuel Cater should be liable for his fine, as it was he who had encouraged him to attend. However, arbitrators disagreed. Consequently, he attended the yearly Quaker meeting in London, and there complained to William Penn that the Friends had refused him justice. He eventually left the Society in 1680 and began to write against Quakerism.
