Hereby warning them all, not to joyn hands against the innocent, nor willingly suffer their ships (to be imployed) to transport (nor to buy) any of them (for slaves) to the separating of husband from wife, parents from children, &c. to the ruine and desolation of many families, and to the provoking the anger of the Lord against you and your families, and to smite the land with a curse. Written on the behalf of the suffering-people of God (called Quakers) and of the testimony which they hold. The first day of the eighth month, 1664. T.D
