To the Quarterly and Monthly Meetings of Friends in Great-Britain, Ireland, and elsewhere, DEAR FRIENDS, A degree of that love which drew our predecessors from the various forms of reli gion, to wait upon the LORD, and to serve him in simplicity and holy fear, engages us afresh to salute you; desiring that ye may increase and abound in every good work; and that, as lights in the world, ye may so shine, as to glorify our heavenly Father. [Here follows an account of the religious state, and sufferings of the society by tithes, &c, the latter amounting in Great Britain to 6940l. and in Ireland to 162 51.] We have been reminded in this meeting of such of our friends as are in lonely situations, and few in number. We desire these may be concerned not to neglect their little meetings; but therein to wait upon the LORD, in whose presence there is life, . and to have their expectations on him alone: considering that his tender compassion is not only to the multitude, but descends even to the two or three gathered in bis name. Let this, indeed, be encouragement to all to persevere in the practice of assembling for the worship of GoD: and as all are in need of help from above, to strengthen them in the performance of their several duties, whether as parents, as VOL. II. 3 N heads of families, as children, or as servants; let us humbly trust that those who walk before him with acceptance, will by him be honoured with his gracious assistance and support. We find ourselves also engaged at this time to caution our fellow-professors to watch, with a close attention, against giving way to the unsubjected activity of their own spirits. Many there are, who, although willing to confess the impotency thereof for promoting the spiritual welfare of men, are yet unwilling to submit to the restraint of divine wisdom in outward engagements. From this cause such have often failed in plausible pursuits, often brought reproach on our profession, often distress on themselves. Thus also some have been improperly led into speculative opinions on the affairs of this unstable world, and the commotions which rend it, very inconsistently with the purity and simplicity of our principles, and unbecoming those who profess to be subjects of the peaceful kingdom of CHRIST. Let not such indulge themselves in contention, even with their tongues. Follow peace with all men. Study to be quiet and do your own business: remembering that the spiritual Jerusalem is a quiet habitation; and that to lead a holy unblameable life among men, walking in the fear, of the LORD, and according to the direction of that light wherewith he favours us, is to contribute, in the degree which he approves, to the advancement of true reformation in the earth. Although we are still unable to rejoice in beholding an end to the sufferings of our African fellow-men, we continue to cherish a tender concern for their restoration to their proper rank in society. On the subject of the Slave Trade being laid before us, a solemn pause ensued, and though no step appears expedient for us at this juncture, to take as a body, we desire that every one of us may continue to sympathize with this afflicted people, and endeavour to excite in his respective sphere of acquaintance, a like compassion for their almost unparalleled sufferings. Dear Friends, we have not any desire unprofitably to multiply words; but oh, that we might be enabled to rouse the supine among us, of every age, and of every appearance, to the awful thought that they are not their own! Surely, were this alarm effectually sounded in their ears, many who now gird themselves, go whither they list, and absent themselves when they list from an attendance on the LORD's service, would not only submit to be restrained by his fear, but would pray that his hand might not spare, nor his eyes pity, until a disposition was produced and established in them, to serve him in singleness of heart. Signed in and on behalf of the Meeting, JOS. GURNEY BEVAN, Clerk to the Meeting. PREFERMENTS. HE Rev. Job Wallace, to the valuable rectory of Rayne, in Essex. The Rev. to the rectory of Great Bucks.
