It is now some Months since a Book was published in this City, with the Title
of All << Slave-Keepers>> , &c. Apostates. In the Preface to
which are these Words, viz. These Things following are so far from offending
or grieving my very dear, true and tender Friends called Quakers, who love the
Truth more than all; that it is by their request and desire that They are made
publick. From which Paragraph it is not improbable some Readers may be persuaded
to believe the Author was one of the People called Quakers, and that his Book
had been printed at their Request, especially, were they to be altogether silent
on this Occasion. Therefore, they have thought it fit, and hereby do give publick
Notice, that the Book aforesaid contains gross Abuses, not only against some
of their Members in particular, but against the whole Society: That the Author
is not of their religious Community; that they disapprove of his Conduct, the
Composition, and Printing of his Book; and therefore are not to be accountable
for its Contents, By Order of the YearlyMeeting, held at BURLINGTON, for New-Jersey
and Pennsylvania, the Second Day of the Seventh Month last. JOHN KINSEY, Clerk.
