Thread Name: BS: The Quakers
Subject: RE: BS: The Quakers
I would have expected a slightly different verb form there, CU, thus;

He giveth the book to thee

Thou givest it to him

would be how I would expect such phrases in UK (old-fashioned, rather than specifically Quaker) usage. Do I gather that once again the different sides of the Atlantic have different customs?
