7 which IL attended 10. would have preseyv
ed mauy who have fallen into great strait.
and difficulties.
! Many causes which might be enurnerat
ed have contributed to produce these sor
! rowful effects; but there is one that has
| particularly engaged our attention. 10 wit
The pra Slice ofgiying and taking prosnis-
sorry notes, called accommodation paper,
and endorsing them one for anorher, and
thus improperly becoming sureties, sorre-
times even to a greater amount than such
parties are capable ofpaying. How much
better would il be, TO be conlented with
such trade aud business as are within the
reach of our capitals; and ncver.to enter
into any engagements or promises with
out providing funds ofour own to comply
with them punctuaIIy
We are also engaged to caution every
individual against imprudently entering
into joint securities With others; for by |
these practices, many innocent wives and I
children have been inevitably and unes-
pecfedly involved in ruinous and deplora-
bic circumstances. We therefore ear.
nestly desire Friends to keep strictly on
their guard, that none through any speci-
ship TO others with safety to themselves,
may risque their own psace and reputali-
on, and the security of their families; in
order hereunto,r we recommend the saiu-
tary advice of the wise man to their spe-
cial notice and regard" BE not thou
one OF them that strike hands. or of them
that are sureties for debts; IF thou hast |
nothing TO pay, why should he take away
Thy bed from under thee i''
Finally dear Friends, I'VE recommend
all to attend carefully to the pcinciple Of
grace and truth in their own minds. which
is sufficient TO preserve and keep US from
falling; and leads to do justly, love mercy
and walk humbly.
