Seekers
The Seekers, or Legatine-Arians as they were sometimes known, were a British Protestant dissenting group that emerged around the 1620s, probably inspired by the preaching of three brothers – Walter, Thomas, and Bartholomew Legate. Seekers considered all organised churches of their day corrupt and preferred to wait for God's revelation. Many of them subsequently joined the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers).
==Origins==
Long before the English Civil War there already existed what Hill calls a "lower-class heretical culture" in England. The cornerstones of this culture were anti-clericalism and a strong emphasis on Biblical study, but specific doctrines that had "an uncanny persistence"; rejection of Predestination, Millenarianism, mortalism, anti-Trinitarianism and Hermeticism. Such ideas became "commonplace to seventeenth century Baptists, Seekers, early Quakers and other radical groupings which took part in the free-for-all discussions of the English Revolution."〔Hill, Christopher (1977) ''Milton and the English Revolution''. London: Faber & Faber, pp. 71–76.〕
