then_o impose_v it_o on_o all_o the_o meeting_n in_o these_o three_o province_n when_o most_o of_o the_o friend_n thereof_o be_v great_a stranger_n to_o the_o matter_n in_o controversy_n not_o know_v which_o party_n be_v in_o the_o right_n but_o they_o must_v take_v the_o say_a judgement_n upon_o trust_n from_o they_o without_o inquire_v into_o the_o cause_n and_o verity_n thereof_o and_o where_o they_o think_v their_o say_a judgement_n will_v not_o ready_o be_v swallow_v down_o they_o will_v follow_v it_o from_o meet_v to_o meet_v clothe_v with_o their_o magistratical_a robe_n and_o if_o any_o friend_n show_v their_o dislike_n of_o have_v it_o impose_v on_o they_o without_o their_o own_o consent_n and_o consideration_n of_o the_o matter_n present_o threaten_v to_o bind_v they_o to_o the_o good_a behaviour_n and_o to_o the_o peace_n and_o call_v out_o for_o a_o constable_n thereby_o endeavour_v to_o trample_v we_o down_o by_o their_o magistratical_a power_n and_o authority_n as_o samuel_n jenings_n sam._n richardson_n thomas_n lloyd_n john_n delavall_n and_o anthony_n morris_n do_v late_o at_o a_o monthly_a meeting_n near_o frankford_n as_o be_v well_o know_v to_o many_o oh_o whither_o do_v you_o think_v these_o thing_n will_v run_v will_v it_o not_o give_v people_n just_a cause_n to_o say_v the_o quaker_n be_v turn_v persecutor_n but_o our_o trust_n and_o confidence_n be_v in_o the_o lord_n alone_o who_o hitherto_o have_v plead_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o innocent_a and_o carry_v his_o people_n through_o all_o the_o power_n and_o opposition_n that_o have_v hitherto_o rise_v up_o against_o they_o in_o all_o age_n and_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o he_o will_v do_v the_o same_o for_o we_o as_o we_o keep_v faithful_a to_o he_o and_o to_o the_o guidance_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n light_n and_o life_n in_o our_o heart_n but_o be_v these_o your_o proceed_n christian_n or_o protestantlike_a or_o do_v they_o not_o rather_o relish_v of_o rank_a popery_n for_o the_o clergy_n or_o they_o of_o the_o ministry_n to_o impose_v their_o edict_n on_o the_o people_n without_o their_o inquire_n into_o the_o matter_n be_v not_o this_o blind_a obedience_n be_v not_o this_o believe_v as_o the_o church_n believe_v in_o order_n to_o bring_v in_o ignorance_n the_o mother_n of_o devotion_n oh_o who_o but_o ignorant_a and_o blind_a man_n but_o can_v see_v these_o

short_a of_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o baptist_n who_o admit_v of_o another_o meeting_n for_o a_o hear_v but_o perhaps_o you_o will_v say_v the_o act_n of_o that_o meeting_n be_v infallible_a be_v make_v up_o of_o such_o a_o body_n of_o the_o ministry_n as_o arthur_n cook_n say_v late_o in_o the_o house_n of_o g._n k._n that_o a_o yearly_o meeting_n can_v not_o err_v but_o we_o desire_v to_o

yourselves_o and_o repent_v of_o the_o error_n and_o false_a doctrine_n you_o have_v run_v into_o and_o let_v a_o time_n and_o place_n be_v appoint_v and_o agree_v on_o by_o both_o party_n for_o a_o public_a hear_v if_o you_o have_v truth_n and_o justice_n on_o your_o side_n come_v forth_o and_o let_v it_o appear_v before_o the_o world_n and_o say_v not_o that_o such_o and_o such_o thing_n be_v false_a but_o prove_v they_o to_o be_v so_o and_o bring_v thing_n to_o the_o light_n and_o let_v not_o christ_n word_n be_v fulfil_v on_o you_o viz._n you_o hate_v the_o light_n because_o your_o deed_n be_v evil_a etc._n etc._n say_v not_o that_o we_o be_v bold_a and_o dare_a thus_o to_o challenge_v you_o for_o it_o be_v not_o write_v in_o a_o presumptuous_a spirit_n as_o rely_v on_o our_o own_o strength_n or_o part_n but_o on_o the_o lord_n alone_o on_o who_o be_v our_o dependence_n and_o who_o know_v the_o innocency_n of_o our_o cause_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o afraid_a to_o bring_v it_o to_o the_o test_n but_o willing_a to_o appear_v open_o as_o hitherto_o we_o have_v do_v in_o print_n and_o not_o as_o your_o practice_n be_v to_o report_v false_a thing_n secret_o abroad_o which_o we_o know_v not_o who_o to_o fasten_v upon_o but_o what_o we_o publish_v in_o print_n remain_v to_o be_v the_o author_n whether_o true_a or_o false_a if_o false_a why_o do_v you_o

you_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o refute_v but_o next_o let_v we_o inquire_v what_o have_v you_o condemn_v g._n k._n for_o some_o of_o you_o say_v partly_o for_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n and_o partly_o for_o hard_a word_n but_o as_o for_o doctrine_n you_o have_v not_o mention_v what_o it_o be_v and_o as_o for_o the_o hard_a name_n you_o mention_v it_o be_v make_v appear_v in_o the_o plea_n
