SPISTJ.E
From the Yearly Meeting held ip Lon
don by adjournments from the 23d
of the filth month to the first of the
sixdi month, 1310, inclusive.
To the Quarterly and Monthly Meetings
of Friends, in Great Britain,
Ireland, And elsewhere.
Dear Feiends,
In »nrrrng our minds towards ko_
luting you with an epistle, and particu
larly as the subject came more closely
under attention, an encouragement was
felt, which induces us to believe that'
in so doing we shall be in the way of
rmr duty ; and when that precious love
which binds together the various mem
bers of the spiritual body ia in domini
on that duty is freely fulfilled. A*d
38 the collected Church of Christ ga
thered into Hi« spirit, must aoide un
dcr this powerful influence to guide
its proceedings t so also the members,
in their separate allotments, can finu
no surer means of being preserved,
each in the way of his own fluty, or ot
contributing, each his sh re, lo the
ccunm jo welfare, than by txp.-ri< ncing
’Mhe love ot God,’1 nenewcdly “Blu?d
abroad in their heart*.” But we know
that the love of earthly things too of,
ten prevails, the harmony of even reli
gious society is interrupted, yea, even
many become spiritually f‘ robbed and
spoii’d.” Dear Friends, all of you!
who may hear or read this our tender!
saUijtation, let us address you in the
language of the evangelical prophet,
'* A.ise, shine,” you to whose hearts
the Loud, in his never failing mercy,
may direct the words of his servants,
which of \ou can say that your Mlight;
“ come!’’ Let it then be dis
played in conduct. Keep in view thp
rwo great commandments of perpetual
bligation—the love of God, snd the
ove of our neighbour. The latter is
the ground of our Christian discipline ;
. nd the former is the life of our »p.ri„
tual worship. And we are persuaded
cnai ir, (..rougit tar redeeming power
nf thr Lord, and I y continuing >n his
fear and under his guid^nce^ we be
come ae(:led in die/u: holy dispositi
ons; if, to uye other words, with gra
titude, whatchful^^eae, *r.d lowlines-B of
mind, we improve thtse holy gifts of
grace, they will never be taken from
us ; but will remain and expand, when
the veil offleth shall be removed, and
a nearer access be opened to the Foun
tain of 1 ove, in a blissful immortality.
At th tse annual assemblies, when
we are receiving accounts of the s ate
of she meetings which this Yearly
Meeting superintends, w r have too of
ten occasion of grief, in hearing of de
lects which do not comport w ith a peo
ple pr fessiog tobe spiritually minded.
Such arc froip various quarters report
ed to us this year. Yet we arc not
di3pc*«d to rnutmrate them now;
though we can readily trace their ori
gin. Hut let us remind every one a
wost us, that it is better to be willing
to trace, each the origin of his own de
fect, than to compose hi a mind by con
, s dering it a small one. The more we
c n abide under the sense of c •. own
wants, the readier and the more ear
nestly sha l we apply for help to Him
whom help u laid. And proba
a I unwillingness there is
' cYea^ure to f/*l in itself a testi
mony to its own unworthiness is one
great reason whv no more are raised
ip as testimony bearers to the Lord’s
•11 MitTicirncy and goodness. It can
csrcely be denied, that faithful la.
uourers in his v»ne* ard, are st-ll want
We noticed,in our last years E*
pis le, the removal of in.«nv, who, ac-j
cording to our power of spiritual per-|
r*pyion» ro*ght bear that appellation.
1 he lnrcrmation of the present year
has a :ded to the list of the dead, who,
we doubt not, hare died in the Lord:
and is a repeated cJl to the living, to
look well to their foundation. This
call also has additional force, when we
consider that other faithful servants
are verging to the same solemn period
—a jrcriod, which though, to them it
may be unspeakably blessed, will deJ
price the church of'their labours and of I
the secret travail, sympathy and pray-!
er of their spirits.
It is certainly net easy to compress’
the wants of the church in one compre
hensive term ; but it seems as if one
of the watch word3, peculiarly worthv
of attention in the present day, were,
Dedication. Remember, dear visited
F'iends, that when Christ invites
you to submit to his yoke, he declares
it to be easy; while the yoke of diso
bedience is known to be heavy. Thus,
while, we are inviting you to faithful
ness, by the losses, which we are rea
lly to deplore, in the departure of ser
vants 8c of hand maids ; 8c by the joy
to at opened on their view as they were
entering on that nearer uoion with
tueir Lord! with Him w of whom
the whole family in heaven and earth is
named,” we Tiny truly say. Brethren,
Sistvs, “yc are called unto Liber
ty•> ’even “ the glorious liberty of the
children ol Cod.” Anil ic is with
thankfulness that we perceived, as al
so we himed last year that very many
of our beloved young Friends, of both
sexes seem sensible that .he Lord's
preparing hand was upon them; How
then do we desire that these tnay pur>
severe in the path cf Dedication: yea,
that in their love and service, they ma*
ay on irara strer.gtu to strength/'
until having fulfilled their due mea
; sure of suffering, every one of .them
[ n\.<y “a-pear’’ with final acceptance
i-“ before Goo in Zi( n.”
The amount of the sufferings repor
ted this year, on account ot tithes,
priests* demands, h treae called church
rates, and for military demands, js
upwards of £ 12,078. In our las*
year’s Epistle, we aoverted to the im
prisocment of a few young men, under
the militia laws: and expressed oyr
apprehension that more cases of that
kind would follow. Qut h lief of the
attachment of many ol ouy \0t4h to
their peaceable testimony, induced
this apprehension, and it ha* beep ve.
rified by the confinement q[ severe!
more on account of the local militia,
and of one for the common militia
Though theae temporary sacrifices oi
liberty, demonstrate a disposition
which endears them t^our hearts : nr
verthejess, we cannot forget that they
| arc yet but in the beginning of th< ii
course of devotedness. and, as this is
the case in various wa\s with many c.
thers cf our precio is youth, are now
only M girding on their harness.” It,
dear Youth, you are allowed to rc
I ceive a peaceful reward for your early
sirhmitidon to duty, gratitude prompts
you still to keep your eye to your ho
jly guide, for further manifestation* of
his will and for further proofs of his
protecting care. And know assuredly,
that if your days are prolonged to a
‘ period at present remote, a-d you are
preserved.'in the fear of the Loud,
these and all your morning acts of htim
: hie ntt: chment to His cans?, will be
,3wr»*tin )our remembrance,
j We have received at this time epis
tles from all the North American Year
i ly Meetings, in which, Jh sides the ge
ner 1 vigilance over the welfare of thr
Societr, we find a continuance of «t
| tention to the same objects of nr,ore
I general concern, which we mentioned
last vear :—namely the state of the
black people still held as stives, and
the measures employed for civilizing
the Indian natives. The Kpistle from
Ireland has been particularly grateful
to us, and we have not failed to teatilv
our unity with friends in that nation
by a few affectionate words of rrplv.
Living as we do under the same go
vernment, and above all profess;ng the
same holy and uniting principle, we
are inclined at this tiin* to commend
our friends of the sister nation, to the
Continued corJiil remembrance of th ir
Brethren on this side of the charm l.
Now, dear Friends, vr? would men
tion one subject which at this lime has
been under our notice : a caution to
nil, to use moderation in their manner
ot living: and in this way to *e*-k re
lief from the increasing expense of the
times we live in, rather tftan f.*y engag
ing in more extensive, and often ha
zardous schemes in trade. Ity these
latter means the mind becom's en
cumbered, and unfitted for rel-gious
service, yea, olten tor rel’gious tho’t,
and tor breathing alter the spiritual
riches, which are to he enjoyed in close
communion with God. And 1 t us
beseech you to consider, how d<st»nt
from the stare which endeavours to
stand resigned to give up dl, if r-Spuir*.
ed, is that which indulges ititlf ?n
ease to the full extent of its power,- or,
is endeavouring by multiplied advru-j’.
tnres in trade, to acquire that powWfe,
which it covets for the purpose,
worldly enjoyment. We helieVt, hbxii -
ever, and we are glad in bel eving*
that there are numbers who act up* u
sounder principles than these : who
knowing, as saith the Apostle, that
“ the passion of this world passeth a
wav,” are really desirous of “ using
this world as not abusiug it.” These^
we would encourage to hold on in tht*
way cast up before them, trusting in
The Lord, who hath declared thac
all things necessary will be given to
those who seek first His kingdom.
Thus trusting and endeavoring to ap
ply to Him in secret supplication, in
the difficulties that must, in a state of
probation, be the lot of all, we may
humbly hope that in our several propor
tions, we shall grow in the truth indivi
dually ; and that coming um in our «L
lotments in the church militant, our
various meetings will also, whether
more or less as to number, experience
among them a growth in the truth.
Hllf rlptir P* ri *» nrl a tkara • . .
taiament which at this lime, we are
arnesc to remind you of : an attain* ,
ment without which no ether gift C;in * *
he permanent and certain. We want
o press hi you the never.ceaaing dur
tv of humility and lowline; s of crmKV
Kven our blessed Lord declared him* A
S'Jf to be “ meek and lowly in heart i**
and can any one expecting salvation '
by him he exempt from the need'fif
possessing the same holy temper ?—
H iweycrgreat the talents with which
He m y have endowed us by nature,
or however H<? may r plrnish our souls
wi h the more excellent gift of Hits
Holy Spirit, still we have nothing
which we lave not reciited: and we
can have no soui d reason for setting
at nought the 1 ast of our brethren—
for whom, let us remember, equally
as for us, Christ died. Let us then,
dear Friends, be willing to examine
ourselves, and know whether we are
indeed humble f Holers of a lowly
minded, though omnipotent Sav.our.
If we feci a deficiency of humility let
us pray for an increase, and for a'-sis
>• tii-c iu uiru me spring pgs upol its
dreadful opposite, pride ; and if w«
ire not without some ground of hope
that we are endowed, in a g^ol de
gree, with an humble heart, we shall
certainly be encouraged still to suppli
catefor its continuance. Finally, dear V
Friends, whether with the b loved
disciple, we address you as fathers or as
young men: whether, without regard
to sex or station, our love in Christ
now salutes the aged or the rising gen
eration : remember that it is “ th*
| neck whom the Lord will teach his
‘ ay and thus taught, and receiving
with unreserving heart, the holy doc
trine, 14 Grace and Peace” will be
multiplied 44 from God our Fatbei* '
