G.F. moved to Recommend Meetings 1

To this Meeting came many Friends out of most parts of the Nation : for it was about Business relating to the Church, both in this Nation, and beyond the Seas. Several Years before, when I was in the North, I was moved to recommend to Friends the setting up of this Meeting for that Service: For many Friends suffered in divers parts of the Nation, and their Goods were taken from them, contrary to the Law, and they understood not, how to help themselves, or where to seek Redress.
