“Fresh Testimony” Characterised by Fellowship with “Ecclesiastical Error” Incompatible with “Endeavouring to Keep the Unity of the Spirit in the Bond of Peace,”—a detailed account of the whole subject of this chapter from the point of view of an adherent of the Priory meeting. On the other side, covering rather less ground, is an Epitome of the Ramsgate Sorrow. There is a more connected narrative by G. Gardner, P. Compain and T. Neatby,—Exposé des Troubles Ecclésiastiques de Ryde—Londres—Ramsgate. This was answered by W. J. Lowe in Paroles d’Avertissement (which I have not been able to consult), to which the authors of the Exposé replied in Examen de la Brochure de M. Lowe.

A great deal of correspondence is given in Facts and Correspondence Connected with the Withdrawal from Albert Street, Ryde, and in Correspondence Ensuing on the Ramsgate Division.

H. J. Jull’s Letter to Darby gives the point of view of some of the “New-lump” party.

Of the circulars issued by meetings that dissented from the Priory, that of Blackheath is the most important. The acts of the Priory are given in the general narratives above cited.
