Seeing that in consequence of the lainente&afflictioiiof our beloved sovereign thy father , thou art called to the high office of administering the regal government of this jcquntry , we hi * dutiful subjects , the religious Society of Frien 4 s , are desirous of representing to thee a subject , in which we believe the welfare of our country is deeply concerned .
It is now many years since war has been spreading its desolation over great part of the civilized world ; and as we Jielieve it to be an evil , from which the gpifit f > f the gospel of Christ would wholly deliver the nations of the earth .
we humbly petition thee to use the royal ^ rerogawe , now placed in thy hands ., to &&e such early measures for the putting a period to this dreadful state of devastation , as we trust the wisdom of tfefy councils , a * they seek for divine disection , will be enabled to discover .
Impressed with a grateful sense of the religious privileges we enjoy under the present government , we submit this irigkfy important cause of suffering hu ~ insanity , which is peculiarly near to our feearts , to thy most serious consideration ; ijiat thus thou may ' st become an honour-Ad instrument in the hand of the

" I am deeply sensible of the calamities which necessarily attend a state of
war " . It would , therefore , be most grateful to my feelings , to observe such a change in the views and conduct of the enemy as would admit of the cessation of hostilities , consistently with a just regard to the important interests which have been committed to my charge , and which it is my indispensibte duty to maintain .
461 reflect with great satisfaction on the religious privileges secured to you by the wisdom and benevolence of the laws , and you may rest assured of my constant protection , "

The Epistle from the Yearly Meet , ingj held in London , by Ad ~ journments from the 20 th of * the 5 th Month , to the 30 th of the same , inclusive > 1812 . To the Quarterly and Monthly Meetings of friends * in Cheat Britain , Ireland , and elsewhere . Dear Friends ,
Being permitted at the present time to investigate the state of our religious society , and participating together in that love , which , we believe , takes its origin in the boundless mercy of God through Christ our Holy Redeemer , through Him who died for us , and who ever liveth to make intercession for us , we have found this love to extend to
you our brethren . We have considered your situation , whether in your larger or smaller meetings ; and as we hav « again been impressed with the belief , that in renewing the written salutation of our love , we shall be found in the way of our duty ; we have desired to be directed to impart to you such information and counsel as may tend to your increase in the fear of the Lord ,
and in the consolations of his presence . Seeing therefore the infinite value of love , that indispensible qualification of a true disciple , we are desirous of press ing it on every individual , to examine impartially how far he feels it to flourish in his own mind , and to influence
all his actions , thus inducing others to follow him , as he is endeavouring to follow JC hrist ; . And we believe that nothing will be so favourable to the preservation of this hol y disposition as humility of heart , a temper JiJ which we constantly see ourselves unworthy
