Excerpt from An Epistolary Address to the Gurneyites and Wilberites
This false theory, that the minister for his missionary, or gospel labor possesses an undeniable claim on those in whose behalf he labors, for the support Of his outward necessities, may be found on page 175 of the work above referred to. This theory was created in Gurney's dark and selfish heart, and he, by a mis construction of Scripture, introduced it into New England yearly-meeting of friends, and he being a great man, was upheld therein. The introduction Of this false theory into said church, has helped to divide in Jacob, and scatter in Israel, and the society Of friends in said N. E. Is not what it once was; a se lect body 'of pure Christians, disbelieving in the imposing of tithes upon any.
But this awful monster has been forced amongst them, and a direct Opening has been made for the introduction of priest-craft within our borders.
