I found this pamphlet a pretty slim offering. Most probably because he was recapping talks he had given elsewhere on the history of the testimony rather than wrestling with it himself.

 center of our outward witness. The testimonies are not just Quaker "values," but derive from spiritual faith and experience, spiritual discernment and commitment. Nor are they outward codes of ethics or rules, but arise from the inward leading of the spirit of Truth and the Light. Cooper cites Quakers extensively to show the roots of integrity in early Quaker practice.
