to_o the_o world_n to_o the_o view_n of_o our_o enemy_n both_o in_o america_n and_o europe_n have_v be_v of_o great_a dis-service_n to_o the_o truth_n and_o give_v great_a occasion_n of_o offence_n

sometime_o open_o declare_v and_o we_o desire_v the_o same_o in_o all_o other_o concern_v towards_o he_o as_o in_o relation_n to_o personal_a injury_n or_o offence_n and_o as_o concern_v those_o few_o

these_o thing_n may_v have_v be_v prevent_v there_o appear_v to_o we_o to_o have_v be_v too_o much_o height_n of_o spirit_n on_o both_o side_n and_o both_o have_v need_n to_o be_v deep_o humble_v both_o provoker_n and_o provoke_v though_o the_o legality_n or_o illegality_n of_o the_o proceed_n according_a to_o man_n it_o appear_v not_o proper_a for_o this_o meeting_n to_o meddle_v with_o howbeit_o the_o book_n of_o the_o print_a trial_n of_o the_o proceed_v where_o quaker_n be_v represent_v to_o persecute_v quaker_n have_v do_v great_a hurt_n in_o this_o nation_n and_o other_o part_n

persecute_v spirit_n say_v we_o know_v what_o the_o quaker_n will_v do_v if_o they_o have_v power_n in_o their_o hand_n and_o therefore_o friend_n ought_v to_o be_v clear_v from_o that_o reproach_n howbeit_o the_o say_a book_n appear_v scandalous_a in_o divers_a part_n of_o it_o inquiry_n be_v make_v in_o this_o meeting_n who_o be_v the_o author_n and_o owner_n of_o it_o and_o g._n keith_n

therefore_o our_o sense_n be_v that_o the_o publisher_n of_o that_o book_n if_o they_o profess_v truth_n shall_v call_v it_o in_o and_o condemn_v its_o publication_n and_o send_v it_o over_o hither_o
