Excerpt from Book of Christian Discipline of the Religious Society of Friends in Great Britain: Consisting of Extracts on Doctrine, Practice and Church Government From the Epistles and Other Documents Issued Under the Sanction of the Yearly Meeting Held in London From Its First Institution in 1672 to the Year 1883

To bear witness by practice, as well as by profession, to righteousness and true holiness, as necessary fruits of faith in our Lord and Saviour, is one of the great duties of the Christian Church. This important truth our religious Society has, from an early period of its history, earnestly endeavoured to uphold; evidence of which will be found in the ensuing pages, consisting of statements of Christian doctrine and counsel, as well as of regulations for the maintenance of good order, adopted from time to time by the Yearly Meeting, as the representative body of the Society.

From the year 1672, down to 1781, the minutes of the Yearly Meeting, in relation to these subjects, were preserved and circulated in manuscript - each Monthly or Quarterly Meeting being expected to make provision for the supply of copies for the use of hits own members. In the year 1781, the Meeting for Sufferings, by direction of the Yearly Meeting, prepared a digest of the regulations and advices issued up to that period. This was afterwards carefully revised, and "compared with the original records," by a large committee appointed by the Yearly Meeting to unite with the Meeting for Sufferings in the service; and, having been submitted to the Yearly Meeting of 1782, was soon afterwards published, as approved by that meeting, under the title of "Extracts from the Minutes and Advices of the Yearly Meeting of Friends held in London from its first institution."

The first edition had been in circulation about eighteen years, when the Yearly Meeting recommended the Quarterly Meetings to send representatives to London to join the Meeting for Sufferings in Revising the whole, and preparing a new edition.
