—Are Friends careful to live within the bounds of their circumstances, and to
avoid involving themselves in business beyond their ability to manage; or in
hazardous or speculative trade? Are they just in their dealings, and punctual
in complying with their contracts and engagements; and in paying their debts
seasonably?
—Do Friends endeavor, by example and precept, in plainness of speech,
deportment, and apparel?
—Do Friends maintain a testimony against trading in goods taken in war; and
against lotteries.
And where any give reasonable grounds for fear in these respects, is due care
extended to them?
—Is care taken to deal with offenders seasonably and impartially,
and to endeavor to evince to those who will not be reclaimed, the spirit of
meekness and love, before judgment is placed upon them?
