A Kinsman of mine writing to his Father into the North, sent him one of those Papers I had got printed, which gave an account concerning my intention of carrying my Books out of my house, and of my burning about the quan∣tity of a quarter of a sheet of paper upon the Exchange in London, &c. A Copy of whose Answer I am willing here to insert.
J. P.
SON,
Though the condition your Uncle is now in, is I believe no whit troublesom to him, resigned up wel∣comly to recieve what hee concieves unjustly comes upon him; yet I cannot but in affection to him, (which I have reason to have for him) have a resentment of his Sufferings. I do believe hee would be unwilling any Friend should any way be engaged for his Liberty sake; But if I were with you I should endeavour it even against his mind: And therefore I would have you try what your Engagement in his behalf could procure for him: You may consult with Mr. Bates, and joyn with him in what you think may be for his good.
I gather from his Paper, and I should have said so of this Act without it, that he did not this in his own will, but as required thereto by the LORD. But I expected in his Paper his reasons to the World more particularly, and what this Burning should be a Sign of.
