because she had no other choice. Her religious beliefs changed shockingly quickly after
reading only two pages of a Quaker book. Ashbridge had formed most of her beliefs based
on unsubstantiated opinions.
2. Ashbridge held biases against the Quakers when going to visit her aunt, and was upset to

kindness and the ideas in a Quaker book. Ashbridge expressed gratitude to God for
showing her the error of her prejudices.
