J.Y.relates several visits which these worthy persons and some of their Christian friends paid to them at the inn.
22_nd._--In the evening Pastor Molinaar came, with his wife and some friends, to tea.

They inquired very narrowly respecting our principles.
Pastor M.turned the conversation on women's preaching, and, after some explanation, appeared to be pretty well satisfied with our views on this subject.

The Mennonists hold strongly to the use of Water Baptism, and the pastor and his wife defended this practice, the latter with much earnestness.

But when we had unfolded our sentiments, and William Seebohm had read a passage from Tuke's "Principles," the pastor, seeing that we aimed only at the spiritual sense, acknowledged that he had often queried with himself whether the usage could not properly be dispensed with, and said that he intended still further to examine the question.

Our certificates were then read; and after we had conversed on our church discipline, the company separated in mutual love.
The Friends inquired of the Mennonists whether any of their Society would incline to sit with them on the First-day evening.
Our friend, Martha Savory, told them we could not promise that anything should be uttered, seeing this could only take place through the immediate operation of the Holy Spirit.
