Query IV.

And how do you make it appear, that that part of your yearly Meet∣ing, that have blamed G. K. and Friends, was led by the Spirit of Truth, and that yearly Meeting at Burlington that were unanimous in clearing G. K. were not led thereby, but by the Spirit of Error; unless ye will say that the Meetings in America have a dependance on the Meeting here, as Samuel Jennings openly affirmed to you in your and our hear∣ing, and to erect to your selves a new Rome, or Metropolitan Church in London, which G. K. openly opposed in your and our hearing, say∣ing, The Meetings in America, or any where else, had no more depen∣dance on you here, than ye had on them; nor had ye any more pro∣mise of Infallibility annexed, or Intailed to you, than any other Meet∣ing of Friends; and G. K. blaming the word Dependance, W. P. bid retract that word Dependance, and call it Relation; to which G. K. re∣plyed, He did own all Meetings every where related one to another, but without any Dependance of one another, and did own our giving and receiving Advice to and from one another; but the Dependance of all must be upon Christ, on whom God hath Promised, He will hang all the Glory of his Fathers House, and all the Vessels of small and great quan∣tity,

(read Isa. 22.24.) and another of the Ministers said in his Declara∣tion in one of these yearly Meetings, in your and our hearing, that this Meeting was the Mother of Churches, without having any check given him by any of you; but we believe that Jerusalem above is that Mother of Churches, and not the yearly Meeting at London, nor any where else upon Earth.
