A47188	The true copy of a paper given in to the yearly meeting of the people called Quakers at their meeting-place in Grace-Church-street, Lonon, 15 day of the 3d. month 1695. By George Keith, which was read by him in the said meeting, by their allowance. With a brief narrative of the most material passages of discourse betwixt George White-head, Charles Marshal, and George Keith, the said day, and the day following, betwixt George White-head, William Penn, and Francis Canfield on the one side, and George Keith on the other; ... Together with a short list of some of the vile and gross errors of George Whitehead, John Whitehead, William Penn, their chief ministers, and now having the greatest sway among them (being of the same sort and nature with the gross errors charged on some in Pensilvania) most apparently opposite to the fundamental doctrines of the Christian religion ... And a proposition to VVilliam Penn, to prove his charge, that G.K. is an apostate.	Keith, George, 1639?-1716.	1695 (1695)	Wing K220; ESTC R220379	30,855	34

i_o never_o judge_v myself_o absolute_o infallible_a but_o as_o my_o own_o former_a book_n have_v plain_o declare_v i_o do_v judge_n both_o myself_o and_o all_o other_o now_o live_v liable_a to_o mistake_n and_o i_o far_o rather_o upon_o divine_a illumination_n and_o sound_a conviction_n contradict_v my_o former_a book_n than_o persist_v in_o any_o know_a error_n but_o 2_o upon_o the_o most_o impartial_a search_n that_o i_o have_v make_v i_o find_v not_o any_o cause_n to_o correct_v either_o my_o judgement_n or_o book_n as_o touch_v any_o of_o the_o great_a doctrine_n and_o principle_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n nor_o do_v i_o know_v that_o i_o be_o of_o another_o faith_n in_o any_o one_o principle_n of_o christian_a doctrine_n contrary_a to_o what_o i_o believe_v ever_o since_o i_o go_v under_o the_o profession_n of_o a_o quaker_n so_o call_v the_o word_n and_o passage_n general_o if_o not_o universal_o that_o i_o find_v cause_n to_o correct_v not_o be_v so_o much_o relate_v to_o the_o truth_n of_o principle_n of_o christian_a doctrine_n as_o to_o some_o place_n of_o scripture_n undue_o apply_v to_o prove_v or_o defend_v thing_n that_o be_v truth_n but_o do_v not_o real_o prove_v these_o truth_n either_o by_o express_a word_n or_o yet_o by_o any_o real_a and_o true_a and_o proper_a consequence_n or_o relative_n to_o some_o other_o lesser_a and_o more_o circumstantial_a matter_n but_o as_o to_o the_o fundamental_a and_o otherwise_o great_a article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n i_o think_v my_o gracious_a god_n that_o i_o have_v be_v well_o preserve_v and_o have_v not_o find_v any_o thing_n in_o any_o of_o my_o former_a or_o latter_a book_n contradictory_n to_o any_o one_o fundamental_a doctrine_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o i_o wish_v i_o have_v not_o find_v too_o much_o just_a cause_n to_o blame_v other_o for_o their_o great_a error_n in_o fundamental_a doctrine_n and_o have_v they_o be_v so_o humble_a as_o to_o have_v correct_v their_o own_o error_n i_o have_v not_o thus_o expose_v they_o and_o if_o any_o shall_v judge_n it_o to_o be_v a_o act_n of_o prejudice_n or_o malice_n in_o i_o thus_o to_o expose_v they_o after_o due_a warning_n give_v in_o private_a to_o most_o of_o they_o and_o after_o they_o have_v thus_o public_o disow_v i_o i_o have_v this_o comfort_n that_o they_o judge_v a_o miss_n of_o i_o and_o that_o nothing_o of_o prejudice_n or_o malice_n have_v move_v i_o to_o this_o undertake_n but_o love_n to_o truth_n and_o man_n and_o next_o to_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n the_o regard_n to_o my_o christian_a name_n and_o reputation_n which_o these_o man_n have_v seek_v to_o slay_v and_o by_o so_o do_v to_o expose_v i_o and_o my_o family_n to_o outward_a want_n and_o necessity_n but_o i_o trust_v in_o god_n mercy_n their_o design_n will_v be_v disappoint_v and_o god_n will_v in_o due_a time_n clear_v i_o of_o that_o cloud_n of_o unjust_a infamy_n they_o all_o seek_v to_o cover_v i_o with_o and_o that_o he_o will_v plead_v my_o righteous_a cause_n for_o to_o he_o i_o do_v commit_v it_o but_o now_o to_o proceed_v to_o give_v the_o short_a list_n i_o promise_v all_o sincere_a christian_n believe_v that_o by_o that_o bloody_a sacrifice_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n through_o faith_n in_o he_o they_o be_v cleanse_v from_o their_o sin_n and_o that_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n by_o which_o true_a believer_n be_v say_v both_o to_o be_v justify_v and_o sanctify_a be_v to_o be_v understand_v the_o real_a and_o true_a blood_n of_o christ_n body_n that_o suffer_v on_o the_o cross_n which_o george_n whitehead_n call_v visible_a and_o material_a blood_n and_o positive_o deny_v that_o the_o saint_n be_v cleanse_v by_o that_o blood_n and_o give_v divers_a reason_n of_o his_o positive_a denial_n all_o which_o be_v most_o false_a and_o absurd_a first_o because_o that_o blood_n be_v not_o in_o be_v give_v for_o his_o authority_n w._n burnet_n pag._n 40._o of_o
