Biographical note
Samuel Cater (1626/7-1711) was born circa 1626/1627, and was the son of William and Katherine Cater. Cater was a carpenter and was originally a Baptist, and served as an elder in the Littleport Baptist church, before becoming a Quaker minister. Under the influence of James Parnell, Cater became a convinced Quaker (i.e. converted to Quakerism). Cater attacked Thomas Hicks' "A Dialogue Between a Christian and a Quaker" (1673). Cater was also in correspondence with James Nayler, another Quaker leader.
