The Epistle to the Monthly and Quarterly Meetings of Friends in England Wales and Elsewhere From Our Yearly Meeting held in London the Fifth Sixth Seventh and Eighth Days of the Fourth Month 1693. Dear and truly beloved Friends and Brethren WE tenderly salute you in the Lord with Love unfeigned heartily desiring Sion's Prosperity and earnestly praying for the Peace of Jerusalem and of the whole Israel of God and Church of Christ That all the Assemblies of Friends may be truly comforted and abundantly refreshed in the living sence of his Presence and unspeakable Goodness of our God as we have been beyond Expression in this our solemn and seasonable Assembly at this time for which we are greatly obliged to bless and praise the God and Fountain of all our Mercies and always to continue humbly thankful to him for the same The Principal Matters of most General concern agreed upon by this Meeting to be communicated we do faithfully recommend to your Christian Care and Notice as heretofore Our last Yearly Epistle being very comprehensive and weighty Reference to our last Yearly Meeting Epistle and more large than usual It is earnestly desired that the Contents thereof be seriously Reminded in all your Monthly and Quarterly Meetings in order to the faithful performance according to our Christian Religion and Profession in the purity thereof and as God's faithful Witness in all Hearts doth enjoyn and is ready to assist all the Faithful and diligent in the Conduct of their Conversations And therefore that all due and Godly care be taken and exercised among all Friends in the Christian and sober Education of their Children and Youth A summary of the former Years Epistle to be taken notice of by Friends which are under their Care and Trust that they be good Examples and Patterns both in Conversation Words and Habits becoming our holy Profession and humble Religion of our blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ against the Pride of Life against the Breach of Promise Injuring and defrauding others in their Properties Trade and Commerce c. against the grand Oppression and Antichristian yoke of Tythes that our Christian Testimony born and greatly suffered for be faithfully maintained against them in all respects and against Steeple-house Rates or Lays as also against the Burden and Imposition of Oathes and against all Whisperings and Backbitings which tend to Strife and Division and making Parties and all disorderly and undue proceedings in Marriages That Truth 's Order Method and Testimony be faithfully kept unto concerning all these matters and the judgment thereof in God's Wisdom set over all perverseness unfaithfulness and disorderly walking tending to the dishonour of God reproach and scandal of our holy Profession and of us his People It is desired that Friends at all their Monthly and Quarterly Meetings be reminded to call for the Records of the Sufferings of Friends to see that they be duly gathered The Records of Sufferings to be more carefully lookt after truly entred and kept and accordingly sent up as hath been often advised both of what Tythes c. are pretended to be due and for how long a time and the time when taken and by and for whom and what Goods are taken and the value thereof as well of those not exceeding as those exceeding the sums or quantities demanded it being a suffering in both for Truths sake they being in these particulars found defective and imperfect in divers Counties which is an Obstruction to the General Record of Friends Sufferings And therefore the Monthly and Quarterly Meetings are advised to take more care for the future that all Friends Sufferings for Truth 's sake may be brought up as full and compleat in all respects as possibly may be A complaint being made about some Ship-Masters who profess the Truth and are esteemed Quakers their carrying Guns in their Ships supposing thereby to defend and secure themselves and their Ships contrary to their former Principle and Practice and to the endangering their own and others Lives thereby also giving occasion of more severe hardships and sufferings to be inflicted on such Friends as are prest into Ships of War who for Conscience sake cannot fight nor destroy mens Lives Of Ship-Masters reputed Quakers carrying Guns in their Ships the dangerous Consequences thereof 't is therefore recommended to the Monthly and Quarterly Meetings whereunto such Ship-Masters belong to deal with them in God's Wisdom and tender Love to stir them up and awaken their Consciences that they may seriously consider how they injure their own Souls in so doing and what occasion they give to make the Truth and Friends to suffer by their declention and acting contrary thereunto through Disobedience and Unbelief placeing their security in that which is altogether Insecure and Dangerous which we are really sorry for and sincerely desire their Recovery and safety from Destruction that their Faith and Confidence may be in the Arm and power of God Dear Friends you very well know our Christian Principle and Profession in this matter both with respect to God and Caesar That because we are Subjects of Christ's Kingdom Our Respect to Christ and to Caesar which is not of this World we cannot Fight Jo. 18.36 Yet being Subjects of Caesar's Kingdom we pay our Taxes Tribute c. according to the Example of Christ and his holy Apostles relating to Christ's Kingdom and Caesar's wherein we are careful not to Offend Matt. 17.27 and 22 20. Rom. 13.6 7. Being also very glad and much satisfied in the many Testimonies given at this Meeting of our Friends Innocency quiet and peaceable Behaviour under the outward Government as becomes our Christian Principle and Profession Of Tho. Wilson's and James Dickinson's Travels Our dear Friends and Brethren Thomas Wilson and James Dickinson being by the good providence of God preserved in their Travels and safely returned and present at this Meeting gave account of their eminent Preservation and Deliverance both by Sea and Land and of their Travils and Service in Barbadoes East and West Jarsey Pensilvania Maryland Virginia New-England North-Carolina Rhoad-Island Long-Island Antego Mevis and that they found Friends in good Unity in most Parts and great openness to Truth and that in many parts their great need of being Visited and Friends there much desire it And that in New England the cry of the Blood of Friends formerly put to Death there is much revived by the late Judgment and Confusion fallen upon the Professors there about Witch-craft several being there put to Death under pretence of being Witches which they wickedly accused Friends formerly with insomuch that some of the more Moderate People among them declared that they believed that the Hand of the Lord would not be taken from off that Place until a day of Humiliation be appointed to acknowledge and condemn that action in putting the Quakers to Death Which we pray God give them Repentance for Of four Epistles from Ireland
