Excerpt from An Expostulation on Behalf of the Truth, Against Departures in Doctrine, Practice, and Discipline: In Which the Revised Queries, Rules, and Advices, of London Yearly Meeting of Friends, Are Examined and Compared With Former EditionsThe writer of the ensuing pages, in addressing them more especially to his brethren in religious profession, feels called upon to acknowledge, that it is not until after many and long-continued exercises borne in private, concerning the things treated of, that he has been led'in this manner to bring them before their view.On returning home from the Yearly Meeting of 1860, at which a revised list of Queries and General Advices was adopted and given forth, a weighty and solemn sense of duty was sealed upon his mind to give up the time needful, for a special and close examination of the facts and causes of the changes then made, especially, also, as the Book of Discipline was about to be revised for a new edition in the course of the following year.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
