George Fox Moved to Recommend Meeting 4

And as I had been moved of the Lord, to travel in his Power round about this Nation, and in other parts, to Preach the Everlasting Gospel, and to declare the Word of Life, which was in the Beginning, through many Imprisonments, Hardships, Sufferings and Trials; so I was afterwards moved to Travel in the fame Heavenly Power about the Nation again (and to write to such Places, where I came) to recommend unto Friends the setting up of the Quarterly and Monthly Meetings in all Counties, for the looking after the Poor, and taking Care for Orderly Proceedings in Marriages, and other matters relating to the Church of Christ: Though some Meetings for this end were settled in the North of England in the Year 1653.
