[Extract from an epistle from the yearly meeting] We desire afresh to press upon all our members, the necessity of a peaceful and innocent demeanour amongst men; and especially, let all be careful not to seek or accept profit by any concern in the preparations so extensively making for war: for how reproachfully inconsistent would it be, to refuse an active compliance with warlike measures; and, at the same time, not to hesitate to enrich ourselves by the commerce and other circumstances dependent on war! 1798.
