[Footnote 3:  The introduction was made by Thomas Shillitoe, at the time of the Yearly Meeting.  He said to M.S., “Let me introduce thy brother to thee.” “Brother!” she exclaimed, with surprise.  “Yes,” answered the good old man; “all who have been on the Continent are brothers and sisters.”]

[Footnote 5:  This is one of the earliest burial-grounds which belonged to Friends.  Over the gateway was a curious inscription on brass, now removed to Barnsley.  It is as follows: 

“Anno Domini 1657.  Though superstitious minds doe judge amisse of this buriall plane, yet lett them know hereby that the Scripture saith, The earth, it is the Lord’s.  And I say soe is this, therefore seeing we, and by his people also sett apart for the churches use, or a buriall place, it is holy, or convenient and good for that use and service, as every other earth is.  And it is not without Scripture warrant or example of the holy men of God to burie in snoh a place; for Joshua, a servant of the Lord and commander in chiefe or leader and ruler of the people of God when he died was neither buried in a steeple-house now called a parish church, nor in a steeple-house-yeard, but he was buried in the border of his inheritance, and on the north side of Mount Gaash, as you may read; see Joshua, the 24th chapter, and the 29th and 30th verses.  And Eleazer, Aaron’s son, who was called of the Lord, when he died, (they buried him not in a parish house, nor a steeple-house yeard, but) they buried him in the hill of Phinehas, his son, which was given him in Mount Ephraim, as you may read, Joshua, the 24th, the 33rd v.  And these were noe superstitious persons, but beloved, of the Lord, and were well buried.  And soe were they In Abraham’s bought field, Genesis, the 23rd chapter, the 17, 18, 19, and 20 verses:  though superstitious minds now are unwilling unto the truth to bow, who are offended at such as burie in their inheritance or bought field, appointed for that use.”]
