a_o word_n to_o the_o well-inclined_a of_o all_z persuasion_n together_o with_o a_o copy_n of_o a_o letter_n from_o william_n penn_n to_o george_n keith_n upon_o his_o arbitrary_a summons_n and_o unjust_a proceed_n at_o turners-hall_n against_o the_o people_n call_v quaker_n this_o follow_a paper_n be_v intend_v for_o a_o answer_n to_o george_n keith_n notice_n of_o another_o meeting_n at_o turners-hall_n the_o 21._o of_o the_o month_n call_v april_n 1698._o we_o hope_v that_o the_o wise_a and_o judicious_a of_o all_o persuasion_n will_v both_o approve_v our_o past_a absence_n from_o such_o sort_n of_o meeting_n and_o our_o not_o bow_v to_o the_o like_a proceed_n since_o their_o tendency_n be_v rather_o to_o profane_a than_o to_o promote_v piety_n and_o charity_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o chief_a end_n of_o all_o true_o religious_a assembly_n which_o be_v say_v as_o a_o advertisement_n to_o they_o that_o read_v this_o paper_n we_o now_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o you_o chief_o that_o frequent_a turners-hall_n on_o these_o occasion_n since_o it_o be_v for_o your_o sake_n that_o we_o be_v concern_v to_o take_v this_o public_a notice_n of_o what_o be_v do_v there_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v to_o you_o and_o such_o as_o may_v yet_o have_v a_o better_a opinion_n of_o g._n k._n than_o he_o deserve_v that_o we_o be_v in_o the_o right_n not_o to_o gratify_v he_o in_o comply_v with_o such_o public_a meeting_n of_o strife_n and_o confusion_n and_o we_o must_v tell_v you_o free_o if_o you_o have_v any_o just_a and_o serious_a regard_n for_o the_o honour_n of_o religion_n in_o general_n we_o can_v see_v how_o you_o can_v do_v less_o than_o discourage_v they_o instead_o of_o censure_v we_o for_o decline_v they_o and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n follow_v 1._o that_o such_o meeting_n be_v rare_o to_o edification_n when_o even_o that_o be_v intend_v but_o these_o be_v manifest_o for_o abuse_v and_o to_o stir_v up_o levity_n and_o prejudice_n against_o we_o and_o look_v more_o like_o a_o bartholomew-fair_a or_o stage_n of_o buffonery_n than_o religious_a assembly_n and_o as_o such_o be_v understand_v and_o disow_v by_o impartial_a and_o sober_a people_n 2._o it_o be_v at_o the_o instigation_n of_o a_o man_n who_o have_v of_o late_a breathe_v out_o revile_n and_o threaten_n against_o we_o since_o his_o defection_n from_o his_o ancient_a principle_n practice_n and_o society_n and_o be_v now_o become_v not_o only_o ungrateful_a but_o rude_a and_o deceitful_a as_o we_o have_v manifest_v in_o our_o print_a answer_n to_o he_o unanswered_a by_o he_o 3._o he_o begin_v with_o printing_n and_o there_o we_o have_v follow_v he_o from_o step_n to_o step_v hitherto_o leave_v nothing_o material_a unanswered_a which_o we_o take_v to_o be_v the_o fair_a more_o substantial_a and_o edify_a method_n 4._o he_o be_v a_o stray_n to_o this_o day_n that_o no_o know_v religious_a party_n own_v or_o lay_v claim_n to_o that_o we_o know_v of_o and_o therefore_o not_o of_o w●ight_n enough_o for_o our_o notice_n after_o the_o long-suffering_a and_o kind-treatment_n we_o have_v express_v towards_o he_o the_o persecution_n we_o have_v suffer_v from_o he_o and_o the_o many_o book_n that_o have_v be_v write_v in_o answer_n to_o his_o repeat_v and_o new-vampt_a cavil_n against_o we_o 5._o his_o offer_n be_v not_o nor_o now_o be_v for_o meet_v by_o agreement_n of_o both_o side_n but_o for_o one_o upon_o his_o own_o term_n he_o must_v summons_n dictate_v and_o impose_v time_n place_n matter_n and_o judge_n also_o or_o it_o will_v not_o do_v with_o he_o 6._o there_o can_v be_v no_o reasonable_a and_o just_a end_n propose_v for_o such_o meeting_n that_o may_v induce_v our_o compliance_n all_o circumstance_n consider_v since_o there_o be_v no_o intimation_n of_o any_o person_n to_o be_v there_o who_o tender_a conscience_n want_v satisfaction_n from_o we_o and_o as_o for_o the_o vindication_n of_o ourselves_o from_o such_o exception_n as_o be_v make_v against_o we_o it_o have_v be_v full_o do_v already_o in_o our_o print_a answer_n to_o he_o wherefore_o it_o must_v only_o have_v be_v to_o have_v gratify_v the_o envy_n and_o

after_o such_o a_o ill_a and_o trival_v manner_n but_o yet_o again_o that_o you_o may_v far_o see_v what_o a_o man_n g._n k._n be_v and_o how_o little_a reason_n we_o have_v to_o take_v any_o more_o notice_n of_o he_o we_o entreat_v you_o weigh_v these_o follow_a consideration_n etc._n etc._n 1._o there_o be_v no_o need_n that_o we_o defend_v ourselves_o against_o his_o charge_n and_o exception_n since_o himself_o have_v so_o often_o and_o so_o well_o do_v it_o when_o make_v by_o other_o enemy_n pray_v see_v his_o book_n i._n e._n immediate_a revelation_n etc._n etc._n those_o against_o r._n gourdon_n scholar_n of_o aberdeen_n baptist_n of_o london_n and_o priest_n and_o professor_n of_o new-england_n and_o other_o 2._o and_o as_o he_o have_v repeated_o vindicated_n our_o doctrine_n as_o

what_o great_a levity_n and_o enmity_n than_o to_o run_v counter_a to_o we_o and_o to_o rally_v and_o excite_v all_o sort_n of_o enemy_n against_o we_o for_o only_o believe_v and_o adhere_v to_o the_o

at_o the_o time_n of_o his_o come_n for_o england_n which_o be_v now_o about_o four_o year_n that_o do_v adhere_v to_o he_o notwithstanding_o the_o clamour_n and_o noise_n he_o have_v make_v and_o
