I received your Note of the 8th Instr. and being now, as you observe, retired to a private Station, I hope to enjoy the Repose appertaining to it. I cannot think therefore of Calling, as you propose, you and your Accusers before me, to discuss Differences which I have no Authority to judge of or to determine. I can only give you my Friendly Advice, which is, to behave peaceably and respectfully to the religious Society you profess to be connected with, especially in their public Assemblies; in which case I am persuaded you may quietly enjoy “that Liberty of a Freeholder and Citizen” which you desire, without receiving from them the smallest Interruption. By giving me no farther Trouble with your Quarrels, you will oblige Your Wellwisher
