Text

"Whereas Ellis Harlan hath had a birthright amongst us the People Called Quakers but for want of taking heed to the Grace of God in his own heart, which would have preserved him from Evil, he gave way to his own Evil inclination, so far as to drink strong Liquor to excess and also Suffered his passion to rise so high as to Strike several persons therein at different times, & when Friends treated with him he did not seem in a suitable disposition nor Inclinable to condemn the same, Therefore for the Clearing of Truth & Friends, we do hereby disown him to be of our Christian Society, until he come to see the Evil of his ways, & by repentance & amendment of Life, he return to Truth & Friends, which is our desire he may. Given forth at Newgarden Monthly Meeting held the 3rd of the 11th mo 1764 and signed in & by order of the same by, John Webster, Clerk for this time."
