CiltA Call To All Bishops, and Others, VVho are zealous for the Book of Com- mon-Prayer, &c. By way of remembrance, now to come to the Way of the Quakers to the Grace of God, to the Light and Spirit of the Lord, &c. which they so often in words have prayed for and desired, as may appear by the en- suing Relation, and Collection out of the Book of Common Prayer, compared with the Prin- ciple and Practice of the People called Qvakers. And let them read it in moderation, & mark & consider it well; for it is a serious Invitation to them all, from the Lord. And henceforth cease to persecute the Quakers, for the practice of those things, which they so often pray for; & not to mock God, to pray for that which they themselves will not receive and o- bey, and so condemn themselves in that which they allow. And let them also consider, how in dayes past the Jews were in earnest, expectation, and desired his com- ing, and yet when he was come, they persecuted him, and would not re- ceive him : So now, many pray for the Grace and Spirit of God, and yet resist it as it comes, & persecute them that have received it, and do obey it, and bring forth the fruits thereof; and wor- ship God according to his own Institutions in spirit and in truth, for which we ought not to be questioned or persecuted for the ser- vice of God is perfect Freedom; and he expects to have the free exercise of our hearts and minds thereinJohn Anderdon
