Respect the laws of the state but let your first loyalty be to God’s purposes. If you feel impelled by strong conviction to break the law, search your conscience deeply. Ask your meeting for the prayerful support which will give you strength as a right way becomes clear.

After surviving a fever in 1776, the Quaker formerly known as Jemima Wilkinson declared they had died and been reborn as a new, genderless person with a spiritual calling. Adopting the name Public Universal Friend, avoiding pronouns, and dressing androgynously, they attracted faithful followers.

I don't know about the Quakers creed, but I do know that Quakers led the charge in the humane treatment of people with mental illnesses.
They started the trend of not using chains or beatings, but rather kindness, quiet, and a gentle atmosphere.

Oliver Robertson, head of witness and worship for Quakers in Britain, said: “This raid is not an isolated incident.
“It reflects a growing trend of excessive policing under new laws brought in by the previous government, which are now being enforced by the current administration."
