A47144	A Farther account of the great divisions among the Quakers in Pensilvania, &c. as appears by another of their books lately come over from thence, intituled, Some reasons and causes of the late separation, that hath come to pass at Philadelphia, betwixt us, called by some of the seperate meeting, and others that meet apart from us : more particularly opened, to vindicate and clear us and our testimony in that repsect, viz. : that the seperation lieth at their door, and they, and not we, are justly chargeable with it : with an apology for the present publication of these things.

adjourn_v than_o have_v be_v at_o many_o monthly_a meeting_n here_o that_o have_v be_v approve_v and_o a_o four_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o matter_n of_o difference_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n and_o betwixt_o friend_n of_o the_o ministry_n a_o monthly_a meeting_n can_v not_o be_v proper_a judge_n of_o it_o to_o this_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o difference_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o not_o a_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n that_o can_v be_v call_v in_o question_n by_o any_o judicious_a christian_a and_o the_o accusation_n be_v make_v to_o the_o monthly_a meeting_n they_o be_v proper_a judge_n of_o it_o and_o if_o the_o difference_n have_v be_v a_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n we_o do_v and_o do_v assert_v that_o the_o monthly_a meeting_n to_o wit_n consist_v of_o a_o considerable_a number_n of_o friend_n of_o the_o ministry_n and_o other_o judicious_a friend_n be_v proper_a juege_n of_o it_o but_o to_o lodge_v the_o judgement_n whole_o in_o friend_n of_o the_o ministry_n and_o to_o deny_v all_o other_o friend_n to_o have_v a_o share_n in_o the_o judgement_n even_o when_o the_o difference_n be_v in_o a_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n we_o judge_v be_v a_o encroachment_n upon_o our_o christian_a liberty_n and_o savour_v too_o much_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o also_o that_o other_o case_n press_v too_o indiscreet_o at_o the_o quarterly_o meet_v when_o some_o that_o be_v know_v to_o be_v party_n against_o g._n k._n do_v require_v of_o he_o his_o submission_n to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o meeting_n he_o answer_v as_o we_o judge_v sober_o and_o christianly_o that_o he_o will_v submit_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n in_o friend_n but_o to_o give_v a_o absolute_a submission_n he_o can_v not_o to_o any_o society_n of_o man_n whatsoever_o for_o absolute_a submission_n imply_v absolute_a infallibility_n that_o no_o society_n of_o man_n pretend_v unto_o but_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o therefore_o to_o introduce_v it_o among_o we_o will_v be_v rank_a popery_n at_o which_o some_o prejudice_v against_o g._n k._n be_v great_o dissatisfy_v and_o one_o take_v out_o his_o pocket_n book_n and_o write_v down_o some_o word_n of_o g._n k._n to_o that_o effect_n before_o he_o have_v finish_v the_o full_a sentence_n which_o we_o judge_v be_v very_o unfair_a as_o well_o as_o unusual_a but_o whereas_o some_o from_o this_o will_v infer_v as_o if_o g._n k._n deny_v any_o positive_a power_n of_o judgement_n to_o a_o true_a church_n or_o meet_v of_o true_a christian_n meet_v together_o in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n where_o he_o be_v present_a in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o g._n k._n give_v no_o ground_n for_o any_o such_o inference_n for_o he_o do_v ready_o grant_v that_o a_o true_a christian_a assembly_n have_v a_o positive_a power_n of_o judgement_n when_o meet_v together_o in_o his_o name_n and_o that_o he_o be_v present_a in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o and_o be_v feel_v and_o witness_v to_o guide_v they_o in_o true_a judgement_n but_o we_o all_o know_v that_o it_o be_v possible_a at_o time_n that_o partiality_n and_o prejudice_n and_o annimosity_n may_v prevail_v in_o meeting_n that_o may_v pretend_v to_o meet_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o also_o to_o have_v he_o present_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o and_o yet_o where_o such_o thing_n prevail_v christ_n be_v not_o in_o the_o midst_n know_v to_o give_v true_a judgement_n or_o to_o guide_v man_n to_o give_v it_o as_o friends_z letter_n to_o we_o from_o london_n express_o declare_v and_o therefore_o we_o judge_v that_o no_o absolute_a submission_n shall_v be_v require_v of_o any_o member_n to_o the_o judgement_n of_o that_o society_n he_o belong_v unto_o in_o a_o matter_n of_o truth_n or_o christian_a doctrine_n or_o wherein_o the_o conscience_n be_v concern_v for_o it_o be_v time_n enough_o to_o submit_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o brethren_n when_o a_o man_n have_v hear_v it_o and_o have_v bring_v it_o to_o the_o balance_n and_o test_n of_o that_o which_o give_v true_a judgement_n in_o every_o particular_a that_o be_v in_o a_o qualify_v frame_n to_o understand_v it_o even_o as_o christ_n say_v as_o i_o hear_v i_o judge_v john_n 5.30_o and_o if_o any_o be_v stiff_a and_o refractory_a to_o the_o true_a judgement_n of_o the_o christian_a society_n he_o belong_v unto_o they_o may_v free_o proceed_v to_o put_v into_o practice_n gospel_n discipline_n against_o he_o without_o require_v his_o submission_n as_o it_o be_v in_o worldly_a judicatories_n but_o if_o any_o say_v at_o least_o it_o be_v yield_v in_o the_o quarterly_o meet_v that_o the_o adjourn_v meet_v in_o the_o school-house_n be_v a_o true_a meeting_n but_o a_o appeal_n be_v make_v from_o that_o monthly_a meeting_n to_o the_o quarterly_o meet_v and_o the_o quarterly_o meet_v offer_v to_o give_v a_o new_a judgement_n in_o the_o case_n and_o in_o order_n thereto_o order_v g._n k._n to_o withdraw_v he_o refuse_v so_o to_o do_v hinder_v that_o no_o judgement_n can_v be_v give_v but_o to_o this_o it_o be_v and_o be_v answer_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o appeal_n from_o that_o monthly_a meeting_n to_o the_o quarterly_o meet_v because_o most_o of_o the_o quarterly_o meet_v do_v consist_v of_o the_o friend_n that_o give_v the_o judgement_n at_o the_o monthly_a meeting_n and_o such_o as_o be_v over_o be_v but_o a_o few_o in_o comparison_n except_o some_o country_n friend_n that_o do_v not_o care_n to_o meddle_v in_o that_o matter_n and_o so_o to_o appeal_v from_o the_o monthly_a meeting_n to_o the_o quarterly_o meet_v be_v in_o effect_n but_o to_o appeal_v from_o the_o monthly_a meeting_n to_o a_o small_a part_n or_o number_n of_o person_n in_o the_o quarterly_o meet_v the_o most_o of_o which_o and_o the_o most_o lead_a man_n be_v know_v to_o be_v prejudice_v against_o g._n k._n and_o party_n against_o he_o and_o g._n k._n do_v offer_v very_o fair_o in_o

be_v concern_v to_o wit_n to_o defend_v one_o of_o the_o great_a principle_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n viz._n that_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v crucify_a do_v rise_v from_o the_o
