Excerpt from The Recorder, Vol. 1: Being a Collection of Tracts and Disquisitions, Chiefly Relative to the Modern State and Principles of the People Called Quakers
Whoever shall have passed many years in habits of reflection on religious subjects, and have felt himself warmly interested in the principles of his education, will best account for my chief inducement to the publication of this work. To some among my old associates in religious connection the necessity of it may not be obvious, and the propriety may not be readily assented to: others again may have different opinions about the series of selection. But, on the whole, I have used what appeared to me a liberty suitable to the present state of the Society, and consistent with an independent choice.
The rise, progress, and principles of Friends have been amply detailed by several able writers in different periods, and their labours, long before the publick, are sufficient evidence that we have wanted neither care nor ability to give that publick very general information.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores church discipline and its impact on the Quaker society, drawing on the author's own observations and experiences in 1700s Quaker communities. The author argues that the pursuit of strict church discipline and the imposition of uniform beliefs hindered spiritual growth and undermined the principles of love and mutual respect within the Quaker community. The book delves into the historical and scriptural basis of church discipline, examining how it diverged from its original purpose and became a tool for division rather than unity. The author also addresses the tension between individual conscience and the authority of the church, highlighting the importance of respecting diversity of thought within Christian communities. Through a nuanced examination of biblical principles, historical events, and personal anecdotes, the book offers insights into the complexities of church discipline and the broader themes of religious authority, individual freedom, and the pursuit of Christian unity.
