AN ABSTRACT by way of INDEX of some very sound and some other Antichristian Passages Collected out of G. Whitehead's and W. Penn's Books plainly contradicting their late Creeds one Signed by W. Penn at Dublin in Ireland on which the B. of Cork hath made some seasonable Remarks another Signed by G. W. called a few Positions of the sincere Belief and Christian Doctrine of the People called Quakers both Printed this present Year 1698. First out of George Whitehead's Books JEsus Christ God Man not Scripture Language 2. Christ did satisfie as both God and Man say the Presbyterians c. Which says G. Whitehead is all one as to say God satisfied God 3. Christ's outward appearance not to be looked for again 4. That Christ existeth outwardly Bodily without us at God's Right Hand what Scripture Proof hath he for these words 5. His second coming in the Flesh we do not read of 6. Christ whose Person is above the Clouds and a Christ within but how provest thou two such Christs says G. W. 7. Faith in Christ without Men contrary to the Apostles Doctrine 8. The Blood of Christ's Humanity the Apostle doth not tell us of Christ's Blood is Spiritual 9. That which is spoken from the Spirit of Truth is of greater Authority than the Scriptures 10. They do not pray for pardon of their Sins 11. Christ's coming in the Flesh but a Figure or Example a saying of R. Hubb justified by G. W. 12. The shedding of Christ's Blood without so much stress laid upon blamed by G. W. 13. The Flesh and Body which Christ took was not Christ 14. The word Co-creator with the Father Blasphemy c. and yet in the Quakers plainness the same G. W. owns Christ the Son and the Father to be Co-workers p. 24. 15. Christ or the Spirit in his People the Beams of Christ without us nonsence 16. The Quakers see no need of directing Men to Jesus Christ or his Blood as it was outwardly shed at Jerusalem for Justification c. 17. We are not justified by the shedding of Christ's Blood that was let out by the Spear 18. Because that Blood is not in being 19. A short Dialogue between G. W. and W. B. c. about Christ's Body and Blood whether in Heaven without us and opposed by G. W. 20. The Blood of the Covenant Spiritual and Inward 21. Christ's Blood which was outwardly shed not more or another than that of the Childrens 22. Not the Antitype or Substance signified by the Blood of Beasts shed under the Law 23. To look to Christ Crucified at Jerusalem and in Heaven and to be revealed in us by his Spirit is a contradiction says G. W. 24. Christ's Body of Flesh visibly to come again not Scripture words 25. The Personal being of Christ without us like the Anthropomorphites and Muggletonians conceit 26. Christ remote in Person in his Body of Flesh not Scripture words 27. Christ's Soul and Body not created 28. The Light within sufficient to Salvation without any thing else viz. without the Man Christ Jesus and Faith in him 29. God satisfied himself the infinite value Ransom was in himself c. 30. Infinite Righteousness effected in us 31. The Name of Jesus Christ belongs to every Member of the Body but not so amply as to Christ the Head say the Ministers among the Quakers 32. The Resurrection of the Body that Dieth Calvin c. mistaken see also p. 359. 360. 33. The deceased Saints look not for the Resurrection of their dead Bodies 34. Bodily Eyes to be made Spiritual strange Doctrine 35. They that are turned to the Light ought solely to depend on it 36. Faith in Christ within opposed to Faith in Christ without us and T. Hicks blamed by G. W. for expecting to be saved by Jesus as a Person without him 37. G. W.'s Paraphrase upon Phil. 3. is he shall change the Body of our lowness or humility or our suffering Body comprehends the whole suffering Estate of the Church 38. The Resurrection of the Just is not only from Sin but to an arising out of a suffering Estate into Glory thus he expounds Philip. 3. 21. 39. The stress of Man's Duty is in obeying the Light Within 40. Christ was very God-man that the Manhood suffered G. W. calls it confusion and contradiction to say that God did not suffer and where are these Terms in Scripture 41. Where do the Scriptures say that the shedding of Christ's Blood outwardly was the meritorious cause of Salvation 42. The shedding of that Blood to lay the meritorious cause or stress of Justification upon is false Doctrine 43. A very blind and ignorant Man that reckons Bodies Celestial and Bodies Terrestrial all one in Matter and Substance p. 69. 44. Christ in us offereth up himself a living Sacrifice to God for us by which the Wrath of God is appeased to us vindicated by G. W. Quotations out of W. Penn's Books 1. THat the outward Person that suffered was properly the Son of God we utterly deny 2. Christ Co-essential and Co-eternal with his Father c. of being made Man of his dying rising and ascending into Heaven c. confused Babble and by rote canting by paths of vain Tradition and Invention results of Factious and corrupted Councils says W. P. 3. That Christ took upon him our Sins and has satisfied the Justice of the Father he makes 12 Queries 1 Query whether Christ suffered as God or as Man if as God he makes 6 Queries and 2 Queries if as Man and 3 Queries if as God and Man and all this to oppose Christ's satisfaction any of these ways 4. Thus says W. P. having endeavoured an enervation of his four Fundamentals which are set down at large in the aforesaid Book from p. 21. to p. 30. which the impartial Reader may judge whether they deserve an enervation or confuration or not 5. If there be any other Christ than he that is crucified within he is a false Christ a Passage cited out of G. F.'s great Mystery vindicated by W. P. 6. No need of Preaching what is not to be again says W. P. so then by this the Life Death and Sufferings Resurrection and Ascension of Christ needs not to be Preached and a great deal in the Bible is to be laid aside according to this Maxim of W. P. 7. Faith in the History of Christ's outward Manifestation a deadly Poyson these Latter Ages has been infected with 8. Moral Men are to be reckoned Christians what is Christ but Meekness Justice c. 9. Regeneration a greater Mystery than the Manifestation of the Son of God in the Flesh and that but supposed with three if's to be a Mystery 10. Christ in the Gentiles a greater Mystery than Christ as he was made manifest in the Flesh It 's strange that should be counted

for the Lord of Hosts hath purposed and who shall disanull it Isa 14. 27. But according to G. W. Men can and do often disanull it and change it as for the instances in Scripture of either promises not performed or threatnings not executed they were and are conditional and do all either express or imply some condition not in the will and purpose of God but in Men whose conditions do oft change and therefore the veracity of God is sufficiently demonstrated without any change or shadow of change in the Thoughts or Purposes of God And indeed such who hold that God can change his Thoughts and Purposes must consequentially hold that he has not an infallible and perfect knowledge of all future things and accordingly such who professedly hold the last hold the first for if Men had an infallible knowledge of future events they had no need to change their thoughts the changes of Men's thoughts and designs do naturally proceed from their want of the knowledge of future events but no such defect can be in God and therefore no change all manner of change being contrary to the Nature of his Infinite perfection POST-SCRIPT containing a Request to the Friends of G.

W. as he has formerly exprest himself in Print thinks to save his Infallibility by telling the World he seeth cause otherwise now to word the matter though he and his Brethren have the same sense still as formerly i. e. whatever their seeming belief now is yet their sense is the same as is exprest in all their former Books and in the Passages above-quoted they are semper idem still the same and still they hold the Light within every Man is sufficient to his Salvation without any thing else i. e. without Christ's Death and Sufferings and mediation for us in Heaven and Faith in him all which are something else to be sure than the Light within either Saint or Heathen In the Conclusion the more sincerely minded among the People called Quakers are earnestly requested that they would effectually deal with thefe two Men. G. Whitehead and W. Penn to make an Index expurgatorius and rase out of their Books those and many other the like and as bad Passages that are to be found in their Books seeing it is as clear as the Sun shine at noon that they do manifestly contradict their pretended late Creeds and Professions and without the doing of which they cannot in justice be reputed sincere in their late Profession seeing they profess they are not changed but have the same Faith and Doctrine as ever they had And if G. Whitehead and W. Penn should be prevailed upon by the importunity of the more sincere-hearted among that People and that God should turn their hearts to so good a work as fairly and freely to retract their former Errors and either disown their former Books or make an Index expurgatorius to purge out whatever is a miss in them their Example being the Principal leading Men now among the Quakers since the decease of G. F. R. B. S. Crisp and others would have a great influence on their Brethren to do the like and both to approve them and joyn with them in so good a work and it might be hoped that in a short time some general Reformation would ensue among that People in Doctrine that would greatly contribute to sanctity of Life But if this be not done and that timely what may be expected but an extraordinary breach to happen and an open spiritual War among themselves things being come to such a Crisis that if this Remedy be not applyed the Divisions and Contentions that will ensue in all probability will make a great scattering and desolation among them however some ignorant Persons among them glory in their Unity Strength and Increase Given forth by some Friends of Truth belonging to the Meeting at Turner's Hall and some Friends in the Country in unity with them London the 10th 1698.
