At a monthly meeting of friends of Philadelphia
for the Southern District held the 20th of 2mo. 1805.—
The following Testimony against the conduct of Charles
Brockden Brown was united with and a committee
appointed to deliver him a copy out—
Charles Brockden Brown of this city who
had by Birth a right of membership in our Religious
Society — having accomplished his marriage by
the assistance of an hireling minister — to a person
not in profession with us — it became our concern
tenderly to treat with him on that account —
but not appearing duly sensible of the impropriety
of his conduct — We testify that we cannot
consider him a member among us — yet desire
that thro' submission to the operation of Truth
he may be qualified to condemn his transgression
to the satisfaction of this meeting and become
united in Religious Fellowship with us —
