text_original: In Massachusetts, where the Puritan law banished Quakers and de  294 FOX clared that they would be hanged if they came back, four Quakers returned delib  erately to be hanged, and were so put to death on Boston Common, in order to put an end to the law by showing, in the fact of their martyrdom, what an unrighteous law it was. Fox was probably the most self confi  dent man in England; the most self con  ceited, his enemies said.
