Eight Posts on the Advices of the Elders At Balby
In March I posted a general comment about the well-known advices of the Friends' "elders" who met at Balby, England, in 1656. I then followed up with 8 posts over the months from April to June, each one dealing with a few of the specific advices of these weighty early Friends. On that mythical day when I find the time, I would like to organize these into a single article with a title like "These Things We Lay on You: an Early Quaker Discipline".

Hi Rich,
Yea!, thanks for organizing these. Very helpful indeed. You know: if ever find that mythical day it might be great to get these together in pamphlet form...
Your friend, Martin
Hi Rich,
Thanks for posting this. I second Martin's suggestion that it would make a good pamphlet.
On your comment on advice #1, you said I'm not sure what "general meetings" means in this context: meetings for discipline? Would they have had committee meetings then? That's the kind of thing I think of when I read "general meetings".
