A47159	More divisions amongst the Quakers as appears by the following books of their own writing, viz. I. The Christian faith of New-England Quakers condemn'd by a meeting of Pensilvanian Quakers. II. The false judgment of a yearly meeting of Quakers in Maryland, condemn'd by George Keith, Thomas Budd, &c. all Quakers : to which is added, A discovery of this mystery of iniquity / by George Keith.

most falsly and maliciously accusing me in some things and also discovering manifestly his and his Brethrens Ignorance Unbelief and Hypocrisie with whom he hath joyned himself First he saith He was deceived in me and ensnared by me hearing such Charges c. as if there were such as did divide Christ and not preach Faith in the Man Christ Jesus nor own the Man Christ Jesus as Mediator in Heaven but the Grace of God within only and such like Charges as that they did not own the Resurrection of the Body and the Coming again and glorious Appearance of that heavenly Man Christ Jesus to judge the Quick and the Dead at the great Day of Judgment Answ That such Charges were true I have many Witnesses that may be produced in due time to discover this Hugh Derborough to be a Liar and a false Accuser who hath writ Lies against his own Conscience and Knowledge for does not H. D. know that we have sufficient proof that Tho. Fitzwater said He owned no Man Christ Jesus as Mediator in Heaven without him but the Grace of God within him and of which T. B. complained to the Meeting of Ministring Friends at Burlington where Tho. Fitzwater himself was present and did not deny it nor they call him to an Account for it And was not Hugh Derborough at the Monthly Meeting where W. Stockdale openly renewed and confirmed his former Charge viz. That G. K. preached two Christs because he preached Faith in Christ within and Christ without beside the pretended Judgment given forth concerning W.S. says the same And the Judgment given forth by their Monthly Meeting which is also in print clearing T. Fitzwater for accusing me That the Light within was not sufficient without somewhat else that something else being the Man Christ Jesus in whom all Fulness of Light Grace and Truth is lodged and out of whom all true Believers receive a daily supply and increase of Grace and he may remember what work he had at a Monthly Meeting a little before where it was affirmed That they knew but one Principle owned by Friends and that was the Light within which I refuted both from Scripture and Friends Books then T. Lloyd said There was but one Fundamental Principle which was the Light within which also I denied From this it is evident that they exclude the Man Christ Jesus from having any part in our Salvation placing it wholly and only upon the Light within and this H. D. has heard John Delavall publickly accuse me of Heresie for saying The Light within is not sufficient without something else yea and H. D. himself hath renewed this in his Paper against me which he calleth The Mystery of Iniquity discovered by the Spirit of Truth but his Paper is the fruit of the Mystery of Iniquity that ruleth in his heart who is acted by a lying Spirit Now that some approved among them deny the Resurrection of the Body after Death and Christ's coming to Judgment without us at the great Day c. we can sufficiently prove and it 's in vain for H. D. to tell us these are false Charges while their Preachers are found preaching against these things and the hearers generally arguing and contending with us against them A. Jennings a Preacher among them has been heard not only by me but divers others to deny That any thing of this Body riseth after Death And Henry Willis one of the 28 now 27 false Judges told me That the only cause why he set his hand to that Paper was because I had affirmed Christ would come again without us at the great Day of Judgment to judge the quick and the dead And W. Southyby's Letter and J. Humphery's Letter and Paul Saunders Letter to me giving an Account of William Southyby and M. Hodgskins their Unbelief in these principal things of the Christian Faith are sufficient proof and which Letters with other Instances and Proofs may in due time be made publick mean time take one Sentence of J. Humphery's Letter which is this I am grieved to hear some say They expect to be Justified by that Blood which was shed at Jerusalem To which blasphemous Sentence I shall not make any Reply at present but let all impartial Readers judge of it I have complained of it in private to John Humphrey himself to several of his Brethren to their quarterly Meeting to which he belongs and to their Publick Meeting several Months since and yet no calling him to account but of late he hath writ his second Letter confirming and justifying his former And therefore Hugh Derborough falsly accuseth me in saying I have deceived him for it 's the lying Spirit in himself and them he now owns to be his Brethren which have deceived him Secondly To his accusing me of Extream Heat and Passion when little occasion was given me if any but the clearing themselves of these Aspersions cast upon them calling of them Hypocrites abominable Hypocrites bidding them Cut him in pieces Chop him Fry him with many more unsavoury words which he saith appeared to him indeed to be but Bryars and Thornes Answ. This is another Evidence of his great Hypocrisie and lying Spirit as well as of his gross Prejudice and Partiality Enmity and Malice I called none Hypocrites or abominable Hypocrites but such whom I can well prove to be such And did not Christ call them Hypocrites Serpents Generation of Vipers c. who had discovered themselves to be such and the Apostles called such Hypocrites and deceitful Workers c. How then is this Bryars and Thorns in me when those I so called were such Have not also our Friends called their Opposer's Hypocrites who were such yea and much harder Names than ever I did to any of them as Dead Beast Dark Sot Incarnate Devils Wolves Dogs c. But what says Hugh Derborough to his Brother Sam. Jenings who at their last Quarterly Meeting being the 6th of the first Month called one of his Fellow Members Ignorant Idiot and Nonsensical Puppey Which Fruits are most like Bryars and Thorns to call a deceitful man a Hypocrite or for Sam. Jenings to call a man of as good or better sence and understanding than himself Nonsensical Puppey Let H. D. answer to this and wipe off this and many other foul Expressions justly charged on his Brother Jenings if he can and yet this is he who would read H. D's Paper and pronounce my Fruits to be Bryars and Thorns but accounts his own Fruits no doubt to be Figs and Grapes though at the same Meeting he called one of his Church Members Nonsensical Puppey i. e. Whelp And yet I do not understand that any one in the Meeting dared to reprove him except the Person he so called I know the Scripture says That Dogs are without but I never knew that Dogs were suffered to remain within the Church if this Person be a Puppey Whelp or Dog why don't they cast him out or condemn Sam. Jenings for

Treatise called Truth and Innocency c. pag. 16. the Light within is so struck at as if it were a very insufficient thing Nor is he less injurious in belying me as if I did hold that the Light within was sufficient to begin a Good Work but was not sufficient to perfect it Which is his gross abuse but not my Assertion for I never so said but either in his Ignorance or Hypocrisie he doth not distinguish betwixt the several Measures and Ministrations of the Light within for this I have said and still say first No measure of Light can save any man either to begin or finish his Salvation without the Man Christ Jesus and his Death and Sufferings and Resurrection and Intercession for us in Heaven without us Secondly The Light is sufficient in the first and succeeding Measures of it both to begin and finish the Work of mens Salvation but yet not the first Ministration or Operation of it and though the Ministrations be divers yet the Light it self in its Nature is but one and is abundantly in it self sufficient both to begin and finish the Work of mens Salvation but not without the Man Christ Jesus Eightly That the Faith of Christ as he died for the sins of men is universally necessary to finish and perfect the Work of mens Eternal Salvation doth no wise derogate from the sufficiency of the Light because the Light is as sufficient to work the Faith and Knowledge of Christ without men as within them when it pleaseth God so to order it And as for the Example brought by Robert Barclay in his Apology and also by me in my Answer to R. Gorden it must not be too far stretched for commonly all Similitudes fall short in some part for though a Medicine may cure a mans Body though he hath no Knowledge of it what it is yet the Light and Grace of Christ cannot cure the Soul perfectly without all Knowledge of it and Faith in it otherwise it might be said That men may be saved without all Knowledge of God and Christ within as well as without but the same Reason that maketh the Knowledge and Faith of Christ within needful to perfect the Work of mens Salvation doth also make the Knowledge of him without them necessary in some measure to perfect the Work of their Salvation seeing the one cannot sufficiently be known without the other and the Scripture layeth equal necessity and weight on both See Rom. 10.8 9. John 17.3 Isa. 53.11 Acts 10.43 Acts 11.14 Rom. 3.22 25. Gal. 2.26 And though many have received Damage by Adam's Fall who never heard of it and know not that Adam sinned by eating of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil yet none are finally lost or condemned for Adam's sin but for their own Sin of Impenitency and Unbelief which they either do or may know and consequently none are finally and perfectly saved but who have some Knowledge and Faith of Christ their Saviour even the Man Christ Jesus by the Faith of whom they receive the Forgiveness of their sins according to Acts 13.38 39. Cap. 4.10 11 12. Luke 1.77 cap. 24.46 47. George Keith Observation by another Hand IS it not Amazing and Astonishing that notwithstanding the great Differences and Divisions that are amongst the QUAKERS beyond Sea yet the last yearly Meeting June 1693. at London the Quakers should assert in their printed yearly Paper That their Friends beyond Sea were for the most part in LOVE and GOOD UNITY And also in their Book The Christian Doctrine c. say the Differences are but among A FEW Persons and that they agree in the MAIN when as they cannot but know that what they say herein is notoriously false there being no less then ten or twelve Books and Papers printed which give an Account that hundreds are concerned in the Controversie and that the said Controversie is not about the Womens Meetings c. which those that oppose are called by G. W. c. Infidels Heathens Wolves Doggs and Devils Incarnate c. but about the very Fundamentals of the Christian Religion as by their said Books c. do manifestly appear And though this is so evident and apparent that scarsly any Man of Sence and Common Honesty will deny or gainsay yet such is the Impudence and Falsnes of the Preachers and Leaders of the FOXONIAN Party that they have asserted the contrary as above 23 Nov. 1693.
