[s] 4.3 [Brethren and Friends,] 
If there be a tendency in zeal upon these subjects to violate the principles and rules of christian intercourse, to interfere with the proper pastoral influence, and to make the church into which we flee from a troubled world for peace, a scene of "doubtful disputations," there must be something wrong in that zeal or in the principles which excite it.
