to_o differ_v least_o there_o we_o most_o of_o all_o differ_v he_o say_v we_o have_v a_o yearly-meeting_a that_o this_o yearly-meeting_a be_v make_v up_o of_o other_o inferior_a meeting_n as_o

the_o displeasure_n of_o authority_n so_o it_o comprehend_v every_o conscientious_a person_n or_o party_n of_o man_n in_o this_o or_o any_o other_o nation_n and_o consequent_o all_o society_n of_o

prevent_v inspection_n whereby_o we_o have_v forfeit_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o act_n of_o toleration_n answ_n this_o we_o very_o well_o know_v be_v what_o he_o will_v be_v at_o but_o as_o it_o happen_v these_o be_v not_o meeting_n intend_v for_o worship_n which_o be_v open_a nor_o be_v these_o bar_v lock_v or_o bolt_v or_o guard_v as_o he_o be_v please_v to_o phrase_n it_o especial_o out_o of_o any_o design_n of_o undutifulness_n to_o government_n or_o prejudice_n to_o any_o person_n upon_o earth_n but_o as_o the_o subject_a matter_n of_o this_o meeting_n only_o concern_v the_o help_n

our_o number_n be_v less_o and_o meet_v more_o private_a than_o what_o be_v common_a it_o be_v not_o for_o fear_v or_o shame_n but_o to_o do_v and_o dispatch_v such_o business_n as_o have_v be_v

though_o it_o be_v very_o rare_a that_o any_o be_v present_a from_o other_o country_n except_o inland_a and_o that_o of_o choice_n but_o they_o be_v always_o welcome_a when_o they_o come_v for_o our_o
