Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Doctrines, Christian Advices, and Rules of Discipline of New England: Yearly Meeting of Friends The first notices on the records of New England Yearly Meeting, of any rules of Discipline for the observance of its members, appear in the minutes of that meeting in the years 1708 and 1709. The Discipline then adopted consisted of twenty Articles, with an Introduction, declaring it to be the duty of all Friends "to walk in the self-denying way of Truth in all humility and plainness, having regard to the early testimonies of many worthy elders against pride, covetousness, and superfluity of every sort," quoting 1st Peter i. 14, 15; Rom. xii. 2; Phil. iv. 8, 9. And the quarterly meetings were directed to recommend these articles to the monthly meetings, "to be given in charge to such Friends as are chosen to visit families, that they may see that Friends live up to Truth´s testimony, in these, and in all other respects." They are designated as "what was agreed on for ye better regulating of Friends in their deportment, and apparel, etc., at our Yearly Meeting held at Newport ye 14th 4 [6] mo., 1708, with some correction at our Yearly Meeting for business held at Newport on Rhode Island ye 13th of ye 4 [6] mo., 1709." In 1733, the subject of the Discipline was again before the meeting, and in 1734 a committee was appointed "to consider said minutes and make such remarks toward alterations as they may think needful, and return the same to our next Yearly Meeting, and collect what they may think proper from the minutes of Pennsylvania Yearly Meeting." In 1735, the committee reported "that some of the minutes of Pennsylvania Yearly Meeting may be profitably introduced." The committee refer to the minutes agreed to by the Yearly Meeting in 1709, and conclude that it is not expedient to alter these, but rather, in tender Christian love, to recommend their observance. 1736. "Our friend John Hammet is appointed and desired to transcribe the whole of our minutes respecting the regulating Friends in their church government or discipline, deportment, etc. - that is to say - one copy for each monthly meeting belonging to this Yearly Meeting, and our friend Clark Rodman as treasurer is to pay for the same."
